Madam Speaker, I am pleased that my colleague mentioned the $5 billion in federal investments in health care infrastructure. It is important to understand that this is complementary to all our other health care investments.
The budget allocates $54.7 billion to the Canada health transfer for 2025-26 alone. This amount will increase to $65 billion in 2029-30. This represents a $300-billion investment through the Canada health transfer, in addition to the $4.3 billion planned for 2025-26 for transfers under the health care agreements with the various provinces and territories.
We are also going to invest in workers. I am thinking in particular of the tax credits for personal support workers and the investments we will be making to improve foreign credential recognition, which will include health care professionals.
The youth employment and skills strategy includes funding for mental health counselling. There is also a whole section on improving access to health care in the north and in the Arctic. These are just a few examples of what our government is doing to support health care.
