Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Nanaimo—Ladysmith for his wonderful speech. I agree with him on many points, and I have a specific question for him.
A number of the points he raised fall under Quebec's and Canadian provinces' jurisdictions. Health transfers are of particular concern to me. The Liberal government boasted about paying $40 billion a year in health transfers, but in accordance with the constitutional agreement, health care costs would be around $91 billion, which represents a shortfall of $51 billion.
I would like to hear my colleague's thoughts on the importance of respecting provincial jurisdictions and on equitable transfers.
