Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister knows that the premier said there has to be complete restoration of the health care system.
Canadians have heard these words from the government. They have heard the feigned concern but they have also seen and felt the pain of what the government has done. It has ripped billions out of health care. It has reduced the federal contribution to health care spending from 50%, the 50:50 partnership on which health care depended, down to 13%. It has opened the door to privatized two tier health care.
Why does the government want to be the deadbeat dad of health care?
