Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague from Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, and I wish him a happy Valentine’s Day as well.
I would like to know why we have seen a dramatic change in health transfers since the 1960s. We are well aware that what the federal government was really interested in was the world exchanges, what was happening in international markets and its position on the international stage. I would like my colleague to tell me how, all of a sudden, what was a noble gesture on the federal government’s part became a proposal to reduce health transfers, but with conditions.
