Madam Chair, I thank my colleague for sharing these stories with us.
The stories we are hearing are all very moving, and we could spend days listening to them. However, the members of this House have a responsibility to come up with and implement concrete measures.
I was pleased to hear my colleague talk about diversion and his government's plans to address it. The Bloc Québécois will be there and will collaborate 200%. We heard about supervised sites, but they come under provincial jurisdiction.
I have a very simple question for my colleague. Everyone is well aware that we need to invest in the health care system and in social housing. The level of underfunding of social housing is appalling. These two problems are directly related.
First, can my colleague explain how he feels about being part of a government that refuses to increase health transfers, when we all know the needs are many and pressing?
Second, can we count on him to lobby his caucus to release funds and increase transfers to the provinces so we can support people—
