Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Hochelaga—Maisonneuve for the support he expressed for the opposition day motion. I listened quite carefully to what he had to say.
Prior to the 1997 election the Liberals funnelled grants and contributions into some Quebec ridings, particularly the types of ridings where they felt obviously that they would get a payback if they put money into them. Now they have added $1.5 billion to the grants and contributions.
We know the Liberal priority is politics before what is best for Canadians. The number one priority of Canadians is of course health care.
