Mr. Chair, I'd like to draw the health minister's attention to the fact that the side effects of the pandemic will continue to grow and grow until her unrealistic vaccination timetable is met.
Quebec and the provinces are in the midst of planning and making budget decisions. Health care workers are under tremendous pressure to anticipate needs and organize the delivery of care.
As I see it, the government absolutely needs to increase funding immediately, as opposed to waiting until after the pandemic, as the Prime Minister wants. We can't afford to wait. We have learned too much, as we cope with this new public health reality. Now is when Quebec and the provinces need the additional funding. It seems straightforward to me: public health comes first.
