Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech.
It is true that we need standards, but what we need are standards for the Quebec nation. Every province has its own standards because they set them based on their unique circumstances and needs.
I do not agree with my colleague's assertion that this is what the Bloc wants. It is not the Bloc that wants this. All the provinces want it. All the provinces have asked the federal government to respect their jurisdictions and transfer the money to the provinces so they can provide adequate health services.
Why is the government insisting on interfering in areas under provincial jurisdiction as clearly described in the Canadian Constitution?
Why does my colleague not give a fig about that?
