Mr. Speaker, health is another priority for Quebeckers and Canadians. We have offered to work with the government on increasing health transfers to keep pace with higher health care system spending in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada. The government said that the taxpayers of Quebec and Canada would pay more and more income tax or else the governments of Quebec and Canada would have less and less money for other things.
Can the government confirm that it is refusing to increase health transfers to keep pace with health care system spending? That would take some backbone.
