Mr. Speaker, the minister is misrepresenting the numbers.
When the Liberals took office, the federal government was contributing 22 cents on every dollar spent on health care in Quebec. Today, this has dropped to 13 cents. Yet, far from fading away, health care needs continue to increase.
Will the minister tell us why he refused to include new money for health in his budget by restoring the level of funding to what it was when his government took office?
