These are interesting sums of money, Madam Minister, but I spoke to someone who worked at the Quebec Ministry of Public Security last year, and he was lamenting the fact that this funding sometimes came with conditions. The Quebec government asks that transfers, whether for health or for shelters, be made without conditions. Last year, in the midst of the pandemic, it took the federal government another six months to reach an agreement with Quebec on the transfer of the money it was requesting for shelters, because the federal government was trying to attach conditions. Obviously, as you say, reaching an agreement with Quebec and with each province is different.
Do you recognize that? Will you commit to ensuring that the upcoming negotiations with Quebec on transfers do not take longer, to listen to its demands on the matter and to try to speed up the process?
