Mr. Speaker, that is exactly what I said, that it is coming out of taxpayers' pockets. However what Canadians told Mr. Romanow is that they are prepared to put taxpayer dollars, that they are currently putting into the system, into medicare. They value it that highly. That money is coming from taxpayers.
Mr. Romanow suggested the federal government take a leadership role and put forward a definite 25% of cash into the system to ensure that this happens. He suggested exactly where it should go. He suggested the money be tied directly to specific health care programs. What is suggested in the motion is that we do not account to taxpayers for the money that is put into health care.
