Mr. Speaker, his number is not quite accurate, it is $1.5 billion. The point that I made was that in this fiscal budget, the grants and contributions of all departments went up $1.5 billion. How much did health care get? It got $1 billion. There is something wrong with that when our health care is in the state of chaos that it is.
This only exemplifies the point. They want to talk about everything else but the budget and the $50 billion that we are supposed to be talking about. Again, we need to bring back respect and accountability.
The grants that have gone out under HRDC are just the tip of the iceberg. We know that is happening in all kinds of departments. The system is fatally flawed and it needs to be fixed. I look forward to the day when we are going to bring about those changes. I will stand on my record and my party's record to the voters of this country. We look forward to that in the coming months.
