Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health.
I am sure the minister will have heard that last night the much respected Monique Bégin made a visionary and historic speech to Canadians on the future of health care. Along with a number of important suggestions, she urged that the federal government re-establish itself as a full partner in health care by immediately restoring a 25% cash contribution to health care spending, moving toward 50:50.
Will the minister help restore public health to a state of health by championing that prescription with her cabinet colleagues?
