Thank you, Ms. Ratansi. You raise an important question.
The reality is that a very significant part of our budget as a government is transfers to other levels of government. We do have a constitutional reality around things like health investment and education investment in Canada, and we are a full partner in working with provincial governments.
We do believe as a government that working in partnership with provinces on health care, as an example—and my colleague Minister Philpott is working with her colleague ministers provincially—we can actually achieve much better results in health care. Also, we can address some of the big issues facing the country, such as issues around our aging demographic, health care issues around home care, and issues around quality of life towards the end of a person's life, and things like palliative care. There are some provinces that are doing a much better job than others. We can work with some of those provincial governments to identify best practices to share with other provinces.
But in terms of accountability of provincial governments, you can only garner accountability when you're at the table and are having meaningful discussions and dialogue. As a government, we're doing that on a number of important files, health care being one of them.
