Madam Speaker, health care decisions should be made by experts. Funding decisions for that program are also made in partnership with provinces and territories, indigenous communities and people with lived and living experiences. They, not politicians, are the best placed to identify projects that should receive funding.
I know that the member had multiple meetings with the minister and the minister's office to discuss proposals from his region. We are happy to continue these discussions with him to make sure that he understands how funding is allocated to achieve the best results and to fund the best proposals.
I also want to point out the historic investment that we made in health care in 2023, recognizing that the provinces and territories are in the best position to invest in their health care priorities.
