Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for Toronto Centre for his speech and his very clear explanations.
I would like to get his opinion on something. Right now, the federal government is boasting that it is proactive and that it is taking action, when its reaction has been to find a hasty solution to a problem that has been recurring for a number of years.
Rather than working with the provinces to find solutions that will get to the root of the problem, the Conservatives are saying that they have established a working group. However, this group has not tabled any reports since it was created. We are still waiting for long-term solutions since the ones proposed by the government are ineffective.
What does the hon. member think of these claims and the way the Conservatives are shirking their own federal responsibilities?
