Mr. Speaker, first, I am glad that my hon. colleague reminded the House of the federal government's role in funding health care. I am just surprised that he did not think to mention the recent investment of tens of billions of dollars in connection with this agreement on health that was signed at the time.
In terms of electioneering, I will read two relatively short sentences:
I also invite the Premier to watch what he says and does. I listened to what was being said earlier; we must be careful. Now is not the time for insults, or to stir up old quarrels. That is not what the public expects of us. The public expects us to treat the sick and take care of patients.
I was quoting Monique Gagnon-Tremblay, a Liberal member of the National Assembly of Quebec. She realized that the tone used by the Premier of Quebec was not appropriate under the circumstances and that it was aimed at getting votes.
