Mr. Speaker, Quebeckers pay a lot of taxes to Ottawa. It only makes sense that we get our share.
If the Canadian federation was as successful as my colleague claims, the situation in the hospitals and long-term care facilities would not be as disastrous as it is today. Health care funding should be much higher, but the federal government's contribution has decreased over the years. The Government of Quebec was forced to assume some of the federal government's responsibilities in order to provide high quality services to Quebeckers. That goes to show that federalism does not work.
