Mr. Speaker, as he left the finance ministers' meeting last week, P.E.I.'s finance minister said that having attended 18 such meetings in the past, this one was the most disappointing.

How can the Prime Minister say he wants to address the problem of health care when he was completely off-target at the finance ministers' meeting?
