Mr. Speaker, if the leader of the NDP wants to talk about money, let us talk about money. The NDP's own platform in the 1997 election said it wanted a floor of $15 billion in cash for the CHST. We have exceeded that.
NDP members said they wanted to restore $7 billion for health. We have doubled that already. On November 4, 1998, the leader of that party in the House called for an additional $2.5 billion for health. Since then we have invested over $14 billion.
