Mr. Speaker, if this hon. member is to be the critic for the Canadian Alliance, he had better do his homework. He would find out that over the last 14 months the government increased by $14 billion the amount available to the provinces for health. This government has health as its priority.
The Reform Party would insist that we respect provincial jurisdiction, and indeed we do. When the provinces come to us to talk about improvements to the health care system, it means more than just more money; it means better management. We are prepared to work with our provincial partners to make sure that happens.
