Mr. Speaker, it seems to me that my colleague's speech further highlights the issue of fiscal imbalance. He said that the money is in Ottawa, but the obligations and commitments are in Quebec City.
Earlier, I asked one of my colleagues a question about health transfers, which are not in there. They are putting $5 billion into hospitals, but, as health care workers told me this week, that is a hospital-centric vision and is not going to provide the health care system with the means and human resources it needs. Another area that contributes to this fiscal imbalance is infrastructure. I am not the only one saying this. Even people in Quebec City are saying it. We are also hearing it more and more from municipalities, especially with climate change impacting municipal finances and infrastructure. We are far from where we need to be. This is nowhere near what cities and Quebec have asked for in terms of infrastructure.
What does my colleague think about the fact that this budget increases the fiscal imbalance?
