Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois appears to have forgotten that, in December, we met with all the provincial and territorial premiers. I stated very clearly at that time that, yes, we will be there to increase health transfers for the long term, but not until we have gotten through the pandemic. I also said that we will continue to be there throughout the pandemic with billions of dollars in support for the provinces. We are allocating $19 billion for the recovery, $4 billion of it now, in this budget, for health transfers and all the help the provinces need now.
In the House of Commons on April 21st, 2021. See this statement in context.
