Mr. Speaker, as to clout and cash, as I mentioned yesterday the Government of Canada now contributes over one-third of all public health spending in the country every year.
I also emphasize that apart from the additional money we are working constructively for the kinds of changes that are needed. The provinces recognize it is not just a matter of money.
Minister Bernard Landry's statement yesterday made it clear. He said “The problem in health is not a problem of money, it is a planning problem, a management problem”. I fully agree.
