Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague from Beauce and pass on best wishes directly from the people of Mirabel, which was recently named the maple capital of the world. However, good maple syrup can be found everywhere.
Ottawa often automatically thinks that the federal government can fix everything. However, my colleague spoke about helping businesses, cutting taxes and making our economy more competitive. To do that, the provinces and Quebec must be able to be more fiscally competitive. The fact that health care costs account for almost half of the Quebec government's program spending prevents us from being competitive for our businesses.
In light of that, will my colleague, as a representative of Quebec, support the Quebec government in its calls for health transfers to be increased unconditionally from 24% to 35% of system costs immediately and, I repeat, unconditionally?
