Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I do have to start off with a quick comment. I absolutely love the community health centre model. I actually was responsible for a number of the centres in British Columbia.
I know that within Quebec they have a very large, successful number. But as you were speaking, I kept hearing the Bloc say, still in my memory—I was on health care with them—to “Stay out of our business, stay out of our business, stay out of our business”.
Given the fact that you have so many representatives within your group from Quebec, and the fact that they now have a new government, do you actually have a mandate from all your partners in terms of your position?
