Mr. Speaker, I am very honoured to present a petition from hundreds of citizens of Winnipeg and Manitoba who are very concerned about the state of health care in Canada today.
The petitioners call upon the federal government to increase its share of health care funding to 25% immediately. Obviously they remain concerned that the recent deal at the first ministers level only brings the federal share up to 13%.
The petitioners also call upon the government to implement a national home care program and a national program for prescription drugs, two ideas which were promised by the government and still not acted upon.
