Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Thérèse‑De Blainville for her speech.
She spoke about health transfers. The federal government has transferred more than $20 billion during the pandemic. That is more than the existing transfers planned between the provinces and the federal government. Of course, the additional transfers need to be financed.
My question is very simple. How should the federal government finance this extra spending? Obviously, there are only a few ways to do that: either increase Canada's annual debt, raise taxes or cut programs.
I would like to know what programs the hon. member would be prepared to cut.
