Mr. Speaker, first, my hon. friend across the way is repeating the same thing, which is false, and that is that we only contribute 13¢, 14¢ or 15¢ to health care. That is absolutely incorrect. As the hon. member should know, and I am sure he does know, part of the contributions in health care to the provinces is through cash and the other is through tax points. Clearly, when the tax points are added in they go above 30¢ to 33¢ on the dollar. I see my time is up but perhaps this will come up again later.
In the House of Commons on March 18th, 2002. See this statement in context.
