Madam Speaker, I have enjoyed my multiple shifts here this evening. I did go through, in my initial speech, the deductions that were levied against the provinces. This is something that will continue. I do share the concern, especially being from Ontario, of the creeping privatization of health care in Ontario and beyond. That is why this government will continue to stand firm, continue to use the penalties available under the Canada Health Act and continue to deduct from transfer payments for provinces that do not have a plan to ensure Canadians are covered properly.
