Mr. Speaker, according to a Leger poll that came out yesterday, Quebeckers and Canadians have made it clear that health is their priority. They have made it clear that the health care system is getting worse, the pandemic has had a negative impact on health care, Ottawa is not contributing its fair share of funding, and Ottawa needs to do more. They have been clear about all of this. Can the Deputy Prime Minister also be clear and tell us whether she will increase health transfers to 35%?

Mr. Speaker, the Deputy Prime Minister is not capable of being clear. We are talking about health transfers. I will show her what it means to be clear. A total of 85% of Canadians and 86% of Quebeckers agree with the provinces and Quebec, which are calling for the federal government to increase health transfers from 22% to 35%. That is clear: 85%. It is not just the Bloc Québécois, Quebec, the provinces or the government who are calling for this. It is everyone. Will the minister respond positively to everyone's request and increase health transfers to 35%?

Mr. Speaker, I heard the Prime Minister say again this morning that the Ottawa police need to do their job against these occupiers, but the police have been doing their job since day one. It is the feds who are hiding. From day one, the Prime Minister has been adding fuel to the fire and then hiding behind the police, like a little boy in a schoolyard. The Ottawa police are exhausted. Yesterday the police chief said that this is a national problem, not a City of Ottawa problem, and he is right. When will the federal government take responsibility? Where is the Minister of Public Safety in this whole mess?
