Mr. Speaker, unlike the previous government that balanced its books on the backs of the provinces and the territories, we have committed to a long-term, stable funding for the provinces and territories.
We respect the jurisdiction of the provinces and the territories in the area of health care. To help the provinces and the territories address the issue of wait times, we have made targeted investments of $6.5 billion. We also have provided long-term, stable funding up to $40 billion to the end of the decade.
I am glad to see that our investments are making a difference, as we see improvements in wait times for priority areas such as cancer care, cardiac care and diagnostic testing.
