Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Yes, of course, we have worked very closely with the provinces and territories over the last five years to increase health transfers to provinces and territories to make sure that needs around mental health and home care especially were more adequately funded.
In addition, this year there will be a $40-billion transfer to provinces and territories. As you know, that is our federal commitment to making sure that all Canadians have access to quality public health care no matter where they live in Canada.
