Madam Speaker, please accept my sincere congratulations on your appointment. In his speech, the member said that he is very close to the people in his riding and that his province is important to him. I would say we have that in common. What the people in our ridings want is a stronger health care system. I am proud to be a Quebecker. What Quebec wants is federal health transfers that meet our needs. The throne speech did not even mention health transfers. The federal government is not meeting the health care needs of Quebec and the provinces. We are being forced to make do with less when what the federal government needs to do is reconcile the needs of Quebec and the provinces with its ability to increase health transfers to 35%. Why was there no mention in the throne speech of increasing federal health transfers to 35%, which is what Ontario and Quebec want and need?
