Mr. Speaker, there is no doubt that health and education are priorities for Canadians, and they certainly are as well for the Canadian government.
That is why, since we balanced the budget and put public finances on a healthy footing, in excess of 70% of all our new expenditures have been in the areas of health and knowledge.
At the same time, one year ago, the Prime Minister agreed with the provinces on the largest transfer for health funding in Canadian history.
