If we take a look at actual history and facts, we will find that the last government to significantly cut transfers for health care, social services and other important programs was the one of finance minister Paul Martin's budgets of 1995-96 through 1997-98, where we went from $18.4 billion in 1995-96 to $14.7 billion in 1996-97 to $12.5 billion in 1997-98 because of the absolutely disastrous economic policies of the last incompetent Trudeau government, a government that racked up deficits in 14 out of 15 years. We now see another incompetent Liberal government doing the same thing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7831755\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does that not concern the hon. member in the least?</p>",

Le fait est que la derni\u00e8re fois qu'un gouvernement a r\u00e9duit de fa\u00e7on importante les transferts en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9, les transferts en mati\u00e8re de services sociaux, et d'autres programmes importants, c'\u00e9tait lorsque Paul Martin \u00e9tait ministre des Finances. En effet, dans le cadre de ses budgets de 1995 \u00e0 1998, ces transferts sont pass\u00e9s de 18,4 milliards de dollars en 1995-1996 \u00e0 14,7 milliards de dollars en 1996-1997, et \u00e0 12,5 milliards de dollars en 1997-1998, en raison des politiques \u00e9conomiques d\u00e9sastreuses et de l'incomp\u00e9tence du gouvernement pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, celui de Trudeau p\u00e8re, qui a accumul\u00e9 des d\u00e9ficits pendant 14 des 15 ann\u00e9es de son mandat. Aujourd'hui, nous voyons un autre gouvernement lib\u00e9ral incomp\u00e9tent en faire autant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7831755\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela ne pr\u00e9occupe-t-il pas un tant soit peu le d\u00e9put\u00e9?</p>"
