Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Absolutely not, Mr. Speaker. If we were to ask the Government of Quebec or the Quebec National Assembly whether Quebec needs Canada to tell us how to run our health care system, an area that does not fall under federal jurisdiction at all, we would be told that Quebec is happy with its own standards.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, I want to let you know that I will be splitting my time with my colleague from Laurentides—Labelle. I have not yet thanked my constituents for the last election, so I would like to do that now. I thank them with all my heart. This is the third time they have given me their support and renewed their trust in me.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Bellechasse—Les Etchemins—Lévis for her speech. I agree with her when she says that this government has huge sails, but no rudder. I would add that there is no wind in their sails, either. Just because you have a sail it does not mean that you are getting anywhere.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-2022  Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois agrees to apply the vote and will vote in favour of the motion.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, can the minister tell me the amount of funding requested by the government in the supplementary estimates (B) for the same cause?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I would like to thank the minister and ask him to provide an answer in writing.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I would like to talk about another subject: the comprehensive land claims policy. On February 14, 2018, the Liberal government announced a recognition and implementation of indigenous rights framework to replace the policy at the time, the comprehensive land claims policy.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the minister is talking about colonialism as a thing of the past, but colonialism still exists today. What I heard was not a clear answer on where things stand. The minister talked about progress, but what meaningful action has been taken since 2018 with regard to reviewing the comprehensive land claims policy?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I would remind the minister that I am glad that $6 billion has been invested, but that amount was for all of Canada. Quebec alone needs more than $4 billion over the next five years, as I mentioned earlier. The amount of federal funding is $6 billion, yes, but so far only $2.8 billion has gone out the door for all of Canada.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, [Member spoke in indigenous language]. [Translation] Going back to the date, it may have been a few days before. I am not going to argue about the dates, but we can agree that the announcement was made before the election was called. However, whenever we are in an election period, nothing happens; nothing gets done.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I completely agree with the minister. That would be a luxury for me; I cannot split myself in three. There are just not as many of us, as my colleagues know, so we always have to do more. In fact, as the minister said—and this is just an aside before my next question—the AFNQL has figured it out already and has been aware of these needs for decades now.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I agree that it can be complex. That is why we separatists like it when things are simpler, when there are fewer levels of government and fewer parties involved. Overall, the AFNQL is representative. It represents its members and knows what is going on. It has an excellent view of what is happening in communities, and it knows what they need.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I am very glad to hear the minister talk about the pandemic, which might have exposed and exacerbated needs and challenges in various sectors. I would like to remind that minister that the Viens commission report said the housing problem had “emerged as the epicentre of many of the issues faced by the First Nations and Inuit”.
