Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for Hochelaga—Maisonneuve for his question. As health critic for our party, he obviously is quite familiar with this issue.
Since health care accounts for 34%, which is a third, of the budget of Quebec--about the same as in the other provinces--with an annual increase of 5.2%, this represents a lot of employees, and management and administration are required.
At this point in time, properly reorganizing the system would require new money. Employees need to understand that there are better resources available that would lead to better services. We can reorganize and remodel the whole system and that can be done at the same time.
For two years now, the Government of Quebec has been looking at reorganizing the system, and I think they know how to go about it. What is needed to get all the employees on board is new money, which should come from the federal government.
