Mr. Speaker, the government is breaking yet another promise. It promised to negotiate a long-term health care agreement with the provinces.
Five provinces, including Quebec, are still without an agreement. The government promised to treat the provinces as partners, but apparently it would rather divide and conquer. The offer on the table is not good enough; it will not enable the provinces to maintain current service levels.
Will the government finally listen to the provinces and negotiate a long-term agreement that will enable them to provide people with the services they need?
