First of all, Mr. Speaker, with respect to the Canada social transfer, it is very clear that the national standards involved are the principles of health insurance, to which Quebecers strongly subscribe. Secondly, a great deal of flexibility has been built in to allow the provinces leeway for innovation and for tailoring their programs to their own population.
As for dollar figures, the difference between today and the first year will be $350 million, or less than 1 per cent of Quebec's revenue.
