Mr. Speaker, obviously the member was not listening when I talked about the share of public money provided by the federal government and the provincial governments for the delivery of health care services.
Let me start again. There is about $64 billion spent by the federal and provincial governments combined on delivering health care services in Canada. The transfers we make to the provinces, the CHST, are $31 billion. Traditionally 54% of that went to health care as opposed to post-secondary education and social welfare. That would be about $17 billion out of the $31 billion which is our contribution. Add to that the $3 billion we spend directly for health care to Canada's first peoples, to our military and to the RCMP and we are at $20 billion. Twenty billion dollars out of $64 billion is 31%. It is not 13% as the member said. If we add to that the close to $10 billion in equalization that we make to the provinces, which can be spent on health care, it is well over 60%. It is not 13% as the member said.
