Madam Speaker, yesterday the Minister of Health called her cut to the health care escalator reasonable.
The Liberals used different adjectives when this cut was first announced by Stephen Harper. The member for Vancouver Centre, who was the Liberal health critic, said it was walking away from medicare. The member for Toronto—St. Paul's, now a Liberal cabinet minister, said it would leave Canadians “out in the cold”. The member for Ottawa South called the Conservatives' approach “unconscionable and indefensible”.
How does the minister explain to Canadians this blatant, undeniable reversal?
