Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Giroux, thank you for being here.
I have so many questions. Madam Ratansi actually inspired one. I will set it aside because I'd like your take on health care and the cost of health care.
Quebec just had an election and the new government is talking about privatizing some health services. We've seen that in B.C. in the past with surgeries, and in Ontario with some surgeries and diagnostic tests. That bothers me very much because of the erosion. Very clearly, there have been cuts in health transfers over the years. I wondered if there hadn't been those cuts to the health transfers would the provinces be in a more sustainable position.
Would we, for example, not be seeing the kinds of rumblings and decisions that we're hearing in Quebec and seeing in Ontario and B.C.?
