Mr. Speaker, there are 34.8 billion of new dollars and another $2 billion in this year's budget.

We are working very hard at this very time because Canadians deserve certainly better than what the Alliance would like to propose to them. Canadians will pay for health care with their health cards, not with their credit cards.
