Mr. Speaker, I point out to my colleague that last year the government restored $11.5 billion in health care transfer payments. It was the largest amount of money that any government put into the health care system. Again this year we put in $2.5 billion.
We have provinces crying for money at the same time as they are giving tax cuts. The Ontario government will mail every taxpayer in that province a $200 cheque. That is $1 billion. If it can afford those kind of tax cuts while sitting on half a billion dollars, it cannot cry wolf too often as it has.
Maybe my colleague might ask her kissing cousins in Ontario, although I am not too sure how close they are in terms of kissing any more, what is going on. How can it afford tax cuts but not afford to restore health care which according to her is a priority under its watch?
