Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Vancouver Kingsway for his speech.
We agree on a number of things, particularly the fact that we have before us a government whose policy seems to be one of withholding information to cover up its scandals. Contrary to what it said, the government does not want to collaborate. We agree on all that.
I have a question regarding health transfers. NDP members often talk about centralization and national standards. In the context of the work that will be done once this motion is adopted, or so we hope, what will my colleague's position be when the time comes to consider health transfers?
Would he not agree that it would be much more effective to quickly increase health transfers, which have been extremely low for many years, rather than encroaching on jurisdictions and imposing national standards, for example for long-term care facilities, as he mentioned?
