Mr. Speaker, earlier on, the Liberal member for Mount Royal tried to convince us that Quebec's Bill 2 is what weakened the health care system, when in fact years of chronic underfunding are to blame for Quebec and the provinces' struggles to meet their obligation to care for people.
The budget contains absolutely nothing for health care, apart from a measly $5 billion over three years for infrastructure. However, we know full well that a single hospital expansion project in Quebec can wind up costing about $4 billion. Does my colleague not think it is obscene that we are ending up with a $72-billion deficit, yet health care is not a priority?
