Thank you for your question, Ms. Chabot.
The clear answer to this question is yes. The FTQ is asking that federal health transfers to the provinces be significantly increased from 22% to 35% of costs. There are two priorities: health care and education. Health care has faced budget cuts over the years. Every time austerity measures are applied to the health care system, they weaken the system. It has been weakened year after year. It's time to turn things around. In order to keep staff in hospitals, service facilities and home care, it's necessary to provide working conditions that will make them want to stay in the system. If the conditions aren't good enough, people will leave. In recent years, we've seen people come into the system bright‑eyed and bushy‑tailed and then become disillusioned fairly quickly as a result of mandatory overtime, challenging working conditions and a lack of support. They simply leave their jobs after two, three or five years. We see this very often.
