Mr. Speaker, my colleague said in his speech that health care was a priority for him, so he will have to provide me with some explanations regarding the budget.
Under the agreement between the federal government and Quebec, the federal government was supposed to cover 50% of health care costs. It is currently paying about 22%. I think that my colleague can see that there is a discrepancy there.
We also note that, starting in 2028, health transfers will not increase by more than 3%, even though health care costs are rising by 5% or 6% a year. This discrepancy creates a $1-billion annual deficit for Quebec's health care system. I hope that the member understands that as well.
I would like my colleague to explain to me why the government is able to find $100 billion to provide tax credits until 2040, when it is unable to adequately support the health care system and honour the original agreement, which was to fund 50% of Quebec's health care system.
