Madam Speaker, if we are going to have a debate, which the member started with his motion today, then let us do it on the facts.
When I hear his colleague suggesting that Ottawa is contributing 15 cents on every dollar to health spending, that is plain wrong. Let us put the facts on the table and let us have this debate framed by reality.
The Government of Canada contributes one-third to all health spending every year in this country. Let us get that straight. These are not figures we are pulling out of the air. As I said, they come from the Canadian Institute for Health Information. It tracks actual spending on health in this country.
I went beyond figures and talked about what we need to fix the health care system. I encourage the member and his party to join us in that effort.
