Mr. Speaker, the member raises a very good point. It was part of the agreement last September that as the Government of Canada provided the billion dollars and left it to the provinces to exercise their judgment about what equipment to buy, they would report to the public on how they spent that money so the public could see that it went for new equipment.
I am writing my provincial counterparts to ask them to now report to the public on how that money was used so we may all see that it went to new medical equipment.
