Mr. Speaker, I would remind the hon. member, as I did in my address, that health is a provincial matter, not because I say so, but because the constitution says so. Very clearly. I quoted section 92 earlier.
I am sure, as I have already said, that we in Quebec are capable of providing care to the entire population, care funded from our taxes, quality care. We in Quebec have no need of the federal government to provide our entire population with such care.
Furthermore, the health system in Canada is at risk today, not because of the provinces, but because of federal cuts in transfers to the provinces. That is where the true danger lies.
I think that the hon. member ought to get up to criticize his own government's cuts in the system of transfers to the provinces. I trust that he will react to the next federal budget because it will seriously aggravate the situation. The government will be making cuts everywhere, including health care, in the next budget.
