Mr. Speaker, it has taken the Liberals seven years to figure out that they have to work co-operatively with the provinces. This is an indication of how poor they are in terms of management of health care issues.
Who but a Liberal could use those figures and get away with it? They brag about putting $11.5 billion back into health care. This is true. But the member conveniently forgets that the government took $17.5 billion out of the system. With the money that is going in this year and the money that went in last year, we are going to be back to levels that we enjoyed 10 years ago. In the meantime, the population is aging and the population is growing.
