Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government got its fiscal house in order by cutting provincial transfer payments, which went towards such things as health, education and income maintenance. This has had the effect of reducing its contribution to only 14 ¢ on every health dollar.
Will the minister agree that the government would do much better to put money back into the health care system rather than add to the number of national standards and play for time with the Romanow commission, which is just for show?
