Mr. Chairman, I guess it begs the question to the Minister: if it is a system debt and it has been three years that they have been trying to rework the system debt, how come we haven’t seen any change in the various health authorities? Why are they still working with budgets which are obviously unworkable? They are obviously underfunded.
The Minister referenced a number of things that the department is doing. I support all of those things, but I guess I am wondering why we aren’t seeing some effect of the changes that are happening, the efficiencies that are being found, the reworking of programs and services between authorities. Why is that not reflected in the budgets at least to a certain extent? Thank you.
