Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Wallace, I would first like to congratulate you: you are the first Indigenous woman to hold a nursing position in the Madawaska Maliseet First Nation. I would also like to convey my recognition of the work you did in northern Quebec and northern Ontario during the COVID-19 pandemic. I have to say that I am biased, since my mother is a nurse herself. I know what things are like in that profession.
You mentioned nurses' working conditions. Of course, health care falls under both federal jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of the governments of Quebec and the provinces.
Generally speaking, do you think increasing funding by the federal government, that is, health transfers, might be a good thing when it comes to nurses' working conditions, particularly in the communities, and indirectly, when it comes to health care for Indigenous people and for the Métis and Inuit?
