Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. It is a very important question, and I definitely want to give her an answer.
With respect to quality standards, we need to help everyone, young and old, whether they are in Newfoundland and Labrador, in Ontario or in Quebec. We need to guarantee a minimum standard. If Quebec wants to do more in certain areas, it can. There will be a guaranteed minimum standard.
There is no doubt that the federal government's investments in long-term care have proven its desire to help seniors in every province.
Jurisdiction must be respected. I am not saying it should not be, but I am saying there should be standards because we have one Canada for all Canadians no matter where they live.
