Mr. Speaker, had the government listened to the provinces, monitored how expenditures evolved and maintained its contribution to health at the same level, as the Bloc Quebecois has been requesting for five years now, there would have been no need for the Romanow commission.
Will the Prime Minister admit that, had he invested as little as one third of the huge surplus, as suggested by his Minister of Industry, the health system would be in much better shape now, and the Romanow commission would therefore have been totally unnecessary?
