Mr. Speaker, the Government of Quebec will be tabling its budget on Thursday.
Unfortunately, despite the full-blown public health crisis, it will not be able to significantly boost health spending because the federal government is refusing to do its part. That makes no sense at all.
Having seen what our health care staff have gone through, and with a third, variant-driven wave a distinct possibility, the federal government cannot tell our nurses that it will wait until after the pandemic.
Will the government at least announce plans to increase health transfers?
