It is my duty to inform the House that pursuant to Standing Order 81(14) the motion to be considered tomorrow during the consideration of the business of supply is as follows:
That, as the federal government's 16% contribution to healthcare spending is clearly inadequate, this House urge the government to invest at least half the current year's surplus in health care, over and above the $2 billion already promised, in order to achieve as rapidly as possible the stable 25% federal contribution called for by Quebec and the provinces.
This motion, standing in the name of the hon. member for Joliette, is votable.
Copies of the motion are available at the table.
The Chair has notice of a question of privilege from the hon. member for St. John's West.
