Madam Speaker, I listened to the hon. member's speech and I know he is concerned about the amounts of money that flow from the federal government to the provincial government. I wonder if he could enlighten the House as to the amount of direct transfers that the federal government gives to the government of British Columbia both in cash and in tax points, and the direct spending on health care in his province. I think it would enlighten the debate.
On that point, I note that there is still quite an interest on both sides of the House in the debate. I wonder whether we might consider extending the hour pursuant to Standing Order 26(2).
