Madam Speaker, it is always a pleasure to see you in that chair. I thank my hon. colleague from Calgary Nose Hill for her speech. She was extremely critical of the government's lack of leadership and vision when it comes to health. I wonder if she could comment on what proposals she would make if she were sitting on the government side. Is it not time to provide funding to the provinces? There is a historic shortfall. Over the years, health transfers have declined from 50% to 22%. As a compromise, Quebec, the provinces and the territories have unanimously requested an immediate increase to health transfers to cover 35% of costs. Would my colleague support this measure?
