Mr. Speaker, the member for Winnipeg North has often oversimplified things in the past, but I found it especially interesting today when he said that people should care more about patients than about jurisdictions.
If my colleague were consistent and really cared about patients, he would not accept that his party is making cuts to health transfers, and he would not accept this disgraceful situation where, year after year, the federal government underfunds health care. Right now, the federal government is barely covering 22% of health care costs. If the member really cares about patients, then he should try to convince his government to be less stingy when it comes to health care funding.
