Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance seems to be drawing inspiration for his priorities from his new leader: pay down the debt at all cost, and the heck with health.
Given that health care is first and foremost in the minds of people, should the surplus not materialize, will the Minister of Finance set debt repayment, which happens to be his new leader's priority, aside just a tad and use his contingency reserve to ensure the sick that the $2 billion earmarked for health will be provided to Quebec and the provinces, no matter what?
