Mr. Speaker, what I said last evening was very clear and unequivocal. In fact, the first ministers accord, in relation to the renewal and sustainability of our health care system, is a singular achievement of the government, our Prime Minister, and all first ministers in the country.
The terms of that accord not only speak to the federal government's commitment of 34.8 billion new dollars for health care, but it speaks to the important structural changes that must take place if we want to have a sustainable system for the future.
