Mr. Speaker, the hon. member for Wellington told us about the goodwill gestures made by her constituents towards Quebec. I hope that she and her constituents are sincere. However, the fact is that, according to a recent poll, only 30 per cent of Canadians outside Quebec agree that constitutional changes should be made, while two thirds of Quebecers are in favour of such changes. Today's reality is very different from the show of love witnessed before the referendum.
My question relates to the hon. member's comments to the effect that we must preserve Canada's health care system. How will we preserve that system, given that the federal government has been cutting for years in the transfers to the provinces, and that these cuts will likely be even greater following the next federal budget? How does the hon. member reconcile the preservation of Canada's health care system with the drastic cuts being made by the federal government?
