Merci, monsieur le président.
Thanks to all of you for your excellent presentations today, and thank you, Minister, for your warm welcome to Prince Edward Island.
We'll start with you, Minister, if I may. My home province is Quebec, as it is for Mr. Dusseault. The point of view of our health minister is that the federal government should simply write—pick a number—cheques above and beyond the 3% escalator that is currently planned and not ask any questions. If I understand his position correctly, it would mean that the money may or may not get allocated to health care, or if it is allocated to health care, it may or may not get allocated to a national priority that is identified by the health ministers. Could you state the position of the Province of Prince Edward Island on this?
