Mr. Speaker, throughout this pandemic, the federal government has been there for provinces and territories. In fact, $8 out of every $10 spent on responding to COVID-19 has been spent by the federal government.
We have been there for provinces and territories, with direct transfers for things like testing, contact tracing and data management, but also to help with crisis, through the investment of the Canadian Red Cross going into nursing homes and support right on the ground to help bring down outbreaks.
We will be there for provinces and territories. They need to spend the money to get ready for whatever comes next.
