Madam Speaker, I noticed that the most recently released public accounts show that the government increased debt maintenance, payments for interest on its debt, by 13%, or $6 billion, over the previous year. The increase to health care transfers for the province was just $2.6 billion, or 4.7%.
I wonder if the member could comment on why the government's policies have led the country to spend so much more in increases to interest payments than help for health care transfers.
