Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. It was only about a month ago that the First Ministers of Canada, including our Premier, Mr. Handley, came out and announced a $41 billion 10-year health care funding deal through expansion to the health care funding in this country. That was a great achievement and something that all those leaders should be congratulated on. Expectations are high now, of course, that there will be results from this breakthrough financing deal and political deal between the federal and provincial levels. I will take the signal from the Minister, Michael Miltenberger, and his address to this House earlier today that it is early days, and, indeed, a lot of the accounts in the press and from other organizations try to signal that. But I would like to flag one thing among all the different levels and layers of, as I say, expectation. There is a program that is already on the agenda or could be included in this over the next few months and years, Mr. Speaker, and that is the issue of sustainability. That just doesn't surface in any of the lines that I am seeing or hearing lately.
Mr. Speaker, if there is one thing that in my mind that was the catalyst for this deal it was the sustainability over decades and generations of this very cherished institution in Canada, our universal health care system. If I could leave one message on the table today, Mr. Speaker, it is that I would like our Minister, our Premier, and their colleagues across Canada to take a look at this issue, not just what can be delivered in the short term over the next few years on this, but how are we going to make the system work for the next generation and after that. That is what is significant to Canadians. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
