Mr. Speaker, the bottom line is the government has ripped out $21 billion from transfers to the provinces over the last seven years while it has been hammering the provinces and continues to hammer the provinces to ensure that people get the health care when they need it. That is the cold-hearted reality.
As I said before, we cannot say to the taxpayers that more money will be forthcoming in the future to cover all that we ask for. Certainly the government should put back what it has taken away. That is the minimum obligation. We will continue to fight the fight to ensure that happens.
