Mr. Speaker, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the Canadian Alliance member and to tell him that his remarks are responsible and make sense.
I cannot say the same for the Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister of Canada or the secretary of state for financial institutions.
It is unbelievable what this government expects people to swallow. Are we being led by illusionists, clowns who have no idea how ordinary people live, as my Canadian Alliance colleague has pointed out?
It is true that the government is only putting in 14 cents on the dollar in health. They can deny it all they like, but it is true. There is a fiscal imbalance in Canada, and they deny that too. They deny that they have paid down the debt and that they have a budgetary surplus because they have helped themselves to $44 billion out of the EI fund.
I would like to ask the Canadian Alliance member to give us other examples in the health sector.
