Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague, and one would think that everything in the area of health care has been fine in Canada for the past five years. Cuts of $6 billion and more have been made annually and hospitals are closed. The sick are waiting everywhere in Canada, not just in Quebec, and things are very difficult. Nurses are exhausted, and yet the member says things are fine.
I am sorry, but in Quebec, as elsewhere, we are living a drama, if not a tragedy. The federal government's cuts were unreasonable.
Today, the 10 provinces have just signed an agreement, and the Prime Minister is puffing out his chest and saying “We are generous”. Busting one's britches is not generosity, or recognition, it is simply indecency.
