Mr. Speaker, when my good friend the member for Acadie—Bathurst gets upset, I worry he will have a heart attack.

I empathize with my colleague. No one likes to see people lose their jobs, but I have to disagree with him on two statements that he made. He said that the Liberal government had cut health care to the bone. Yes, we did make some cuts to health care in 1993, but now the funding has been returned to health care in the year 2000 to what it was in 1993.
