Mr. Speaker, the finances of all the provincial governments and the federal government were in terrible shape and every sector had to take some cuts. This is always ongoing in governments. At that time a letter was sent to Mr. Rochon, the minister of health in Quebec, concerning this case.
Incidents like that happen from time to time. We do not manage the daily operations of the hospitals. It is the provincial governments that do that.
We are in discussions at this time with the provinces and we are looking at the problem of health. We said it was to be our priority.
