Well said. In fact, Ms. Farber's poignant testimony, which we heard first, was to the same effect.
Mr. Raynaud and Ms. Van Dusen, I would like to continue my questions for you.
We are talking about the guidelines for screening starting at age 40. It is all very well for the federal government to establish these guidelines, but ultimately, that will serve no purpose if it does not then provide its share of investments. I am talking about transfer payments here. It has not invested enough in the health care system over the last few years and we are now seeing the tangible consequences. It has allowed the systems in Quebec and in the provinces to grow poorer. It has made cuts to health transfers over the years. It has not met the expectations of Quebec and the provinces in this regard.
As you said, a standard is one thing, but Quebec and the provinces, which control their own systems, then need to have the resources. I am talking here about financial resources, technological resources and human resources.
It is important to reinvest in the health care system to avoid it falling victim to an era of austerity and to have the financial resources to provide appropriate care and treatment.
