Mr. Speaker, I am certainly not playing games. I am presenting the facts. If the member does not want to take my word for it, he only has to listen to the words of every first minister of every provincial and territorial government in Canada. They all said with one voice that the cash portion is critical. It is the key one, the glue which holds our system together. It is the basis upon which our medicare model is sustained. That cash portion has dropped to a dangerously low level. The government has only injected funds to bring it almost back to 1995 levels.
A lot has happened in seven years. Health care needs have changed. The provinces have dealt with more and more of the burden. The real share of the federal government is about 11% or 12%. That is the record. That is what has to be changed.
