Make no mistake, Mr. Speaker: nobody wants ancillary fees for health care services.
Today we learned that the Minister of Health's plan for abolishing ancillary fees involves taking sick people in Quebec hostage by cutting transfer payments by an additional $160 million.
The minister can say she is protecting the health care system all she wants, but she is actually victimizing sick people in Quebec. Enough is enough.
Will the minister immediately and unconditionally restore the health transfers that she is planning to cut in the next budget?
