Mr. Speaker, I think the member is completely wrong. It is like the federal government takes away $10 and gives back $5 and says it has replaced everything. That is exactly what it did with respect to the transfers.
I point out that when Ontario was introducing its tax cuts, it was raising the level of health care spending at the same time. In cutting taxes, Ontario made its economy that much more vibrant which allowed more revenues to come in so that it had the capacity to increase spending for health care. That is how the province handled it. In fact, that is a good model for the federal government and it should follow it.
