Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from Gatineau for his excellent question.
Let me read from the letter sent by minister Yves Bolduc to the Minister of Health:
Quebec realizes that what is proposed in the bill would have major impacts, most notably on the management of medical laboratory and diagnostic services, which are normal services within Quebec's health system. However, these services fall under the jurisdiction of the government of Quebec.
Once again, the Conservative government, despite its promise of open federalism, is engaging in piecemeal federalism and trampling the role of the provinces in the federal system. I must say this is one of the main reasons why I am a sovereignist.
