Mr. Speaker, let me be absolutely clear. The government put 21.1 billion new dollars into the health care system as of September 2000. We have put an additional $1 billion into a medical equipment fund as of September 2000. We put $800 million into primary health care renewal as of September 2000. The government has pledged that we will do our part in the renewal of our health care system.
In the House of Commons on December 5th, 2002. See this statement in context.
