Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask our colleague a few short questions.
I understand that he supports the Bloc Quebecois' philosophy and that he will thus be able to support our motion to the effect that, essentially, if we must rethink the health system, it must be done under the impetus of the provinces. I understand that he shares our concern about the fact that if the Romanow report should become a government policy, this would be the principal avenue toward centralization.
Could we rely on our colleague's support during the vote on the motion?
He supports our basic principle that the provinces must be in charge of organizing the health system and that the federal government's role must be to unconditionally restore transfer payments.
