Mr. Speaker, Canadians are rightly concerned about the future of their health care system. The Conservatives unilaterally cut $36 billion in health transfers without any consultation whatsoever. In yesterday's report, the PBO stated the federal government has transferred the problem of future health care costs to the provinces. This de-funding will only hurt health services across Canada.
Why is the government lagging in its funding of health care, and why is it damaging the fiscal capacity of the provinces?
