Mr. Speaker, I have listened to our colleague's speech from inside and I gather that, before all parties can agree on a bill that would finally grant additional funding to health research, many concerns need to be raised, particularly with respect to the will to ensure that no research institute designation will be made with no regard to the provinces.
I would like to ask our colleague, through you Mr. Speaker, whether his party would support an amendment that would explicitly give, within the bill, a more active role to the provinces when it comes to the establishment of Canadian institutes of health research.
