Madam Speaker, I think if you check the record my words were very conducive to the language we normally use in the House. I was upset by the fact that this has happened time and time again. However, I will get on with the question.
I have one simple point I want to make to the member for Macleod. Is there some symbolism here in the sense that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance was the person who shared his speaking time with the Minister of Health? Does that not send us a message?
Does the member not get a sense that there is a sort of tug of war going on between the Minister of Health and the Minister of Finance in terms of who really sets the agenda for the health minister?
What I am saying, in a sense, is that a leadership race appears to be taking place on the front benches of the government side. It also appears that the finance minister is winning this war at the expense of the health minister and at the expense of ordinary Canadians.
Before I sit down, I do want to congratulate the member for his reference to the hepatitis C victims. We should be talking about that very issue more than what we are today, but I am glad to hear the member mention them. They do need our help.
