Mr. Speaker, I absolutely remember.
It is in fact quite interesting. We do not have to take the word of a sovereignist member of Parliament for it. One only has to look at the Parliamentary Budget Officer's 2013 report to see that the disaster was foreseeable.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer clearly wrote in 2013 that if nothing was done, the provinces would run a deficit because the cost of health care is huge. More than 44% of the yearly budget of the Government of Quebec is spent on health care.
If nothing is done, year after year the provinces will pile up debt, while the federal government will be wallowing in surpluses created by not sending transfer payments to the provinces.
