Thank you for your question, Mr. Julian.
I certainly agree with you. I wouldn't contradict what you just said.
Investment is crucial to a strong public network for health care and other services. This pandemic has made it clear that Canadians need a strong public health network. That is an important lesson to keep in mind when we move forward with rebuilding.
Electrifying public transit is also another big issue. That brings me to the energy issue, which was the subject of a major discussion I wish I could have been a part of. The issue of affordable energy was raised. Yes, energy has to be affordable, but it also has to be clean so that the damage done by combustion and fossil fuel development doesn't keep contributing to public health and environmental crises.
Lastly, if I may, Mr. Kiss said just now that Canada is turning into Europe. Let me just say that here in Quebec, in Montreal, we already have some of that European flair. We sure don't mind being compared to European countries.
We also agree that workers affected by COVID-19 should have 10 sick days.
Mr. Julian, I want to thank you and your party. Your negotiations with the Liberal Party resulted in people getting those 10 additional days.
