Madam Speaker, it is certainly very interesting, especially on a difficult subject such as this, when a chamber with all different perspectives on all different sides comes together to discuss such a topic. I disagree with many of the things the hon. member has said. However, he spoke at length about palliative care, and one of the recommendations of the report we are discussing today is recommendation 6, which talks about the increased funding for the implementation of the action plan on palliative care.
When the member talked about the demise of health care, it brought me to the idea of increasing the transfer payments that go to the provinces in relation to all health care. We know that with the Harper government there was a significant decrease in the transfer payments for health. They have not been renewed by the Liberal government, so I would ask the member about his commitment to the increasing of transfer payments to ensure that we do not experience the demise of our health care system.
