Madam Speaker, I listened intently to the comments made by the hon. member opposite. She continued to criticize and to chastise the federal government for investing and reinvesting in a shared responsibility in research.
I cannot help but point out my dismay at why the member would continue to criticize an investment in research which in fact would help Canadians and would help Quebeckers.
Researchers in Quebec have said after the budget that they welcome the moneys the government is reinvesting in research. It will help to improve the quality of life for Quebeckers and for Canadians. We have reinvestments in areas like telehealth and home care.
The member went further to criticize the prenatal nutrition program, a program where the federal government works with the provinces that works directly with the communities. That is working extremely well. If the hon. member has some criticisms or some way to improve that program, I would be willing to listen to her.
She talks about all this money being spent by the government and how there is no outcome. I want to point to one specific example in terms of the service delivery. We have done some research in service delivery to individuals who suffer from a thyroid condition and have been able to improve it and at the same time save money to reinvest in health care.
I do not understand why the hon. member wants to continue to treat Quebec in the way she wants to treat it. Why she does not accept that researchers in her own province are supportive of the additional money and want to continue to do good work to help Quebeckers and to help Canadians?
