Mr. Speaker, I agree with the member's comments on the private sector. I do not agree that cash transfers without accountability is the answer at all. Canadians do not want us to be pointing fingers and dividing up loonies in fifteens and thirties. Nobody really cares. It is the same taxpayer. Whether it is a tax point or a cash transfer or anything, people want the system to work. We as the federal government should be able to share in the best practices across the country.
I am hugely worried. We planned a system last year which was a five year plan in terms of health care dollars. Because they mismanaged they get to come back asking for more cash, more cash, more cash, when they did not put in the information technology and there are not accountable.
When I ran for office Mr. Harris was complaining that it was our fault that Women's College Hospital on Wellesley was being closed when the reduction in the transfer in that year was $1.3 billion. His 30% tax cut was $4.9 billion. He had more than the ability to absorb that. I think Canadians are starting to get it, that this is not about more and more and more. It is about doing it better.
