Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech, but after listening to all this today, I cannot help but think that there is something wrong with the entire federal system. Let me explain. If the government keeps interfering this much in Quebec's areas of jurisdiction or refuses to grant the transfers requested by Quebec and the provinces, for example in health care, we are headed straight for disaster with the fiscal imbalance, which is plunging Quebec and the provinces into a much more difficult financial situation.
Another question in this debate has to do with what the government is doing with our money. For example, our money is being put into this foundation, which has turned out to be a failure, somewhere our money should not have been invested. The problem is that it has not worked for a long time. I will give an example. From 2002 to 2013, an expert study was conducted on federal interference in the health and social services sector, a sector that is crucial right now and that needs these transfers badly. It was finally proven that, during the years when the Conservatives were in power, 37 federal programs interfered in health care. The government is trying to interfere in certain areas of jurisdiction, but it is not transferring the necessary funds.
I am not sure where this federal system is taking us. Frankly, in recent years, we have seen governments come and go, yet the situation remains problematic. It does not change.
