Mr. Speaker, I appreciate this opportunity to talk about Hooked on School Days. For many young people, staying in school can be tough. They may be dealing with learning difficulties, social issues or serious challenges. That is why this week provides an important opportunity to offer encouragement and tell them we are proud of them. I would encourage my colleagues to express their support by doing something extra nice or even just wearing the green and white ribbon with pride. It is also important to mention the invaluable contribution of all school staff who work hard every day to make learning fun and effective, thereby encouraging kids to stay in school. Staying in school means becoming more knowledgeable, cultured, open-minded, successful and prosperous. I encourage all young people to stay in school. We are proud of them.

Re: Bill C-10

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan for his speech. I would like to return to something he said about the tone of the messaging. He specifically mentioned the Prime Minister's tone in relation to the protests. He is absolutely right to say that it was detrimental and counterproductive. However, the tone chosen by people in his party all weekend long after last Thursday's debate conveyed misinformation. They said that the measures were coming to an end immediately, whereas the motion said that we wanted the government to adopt a gradual reopening plan that is based on science. This impeded the adoption of the motion. I will remind the member that Bloc Québécois members voted for the motion despite all of this, because the motion was worded that way. I would also invite the member and many of the people in his party to stop trying to score political points with overheated rhetoric and instead stick to the substance if they want to make more progress on the issues. Personally, I want results in the House. I would appreciate a response from my colleague.

Re: Bill C-10

Madam Speaker, I am going to make my colleague happy and speak about the bill. I am going to tell him that we want these rapid tests and that we support this bill. Madam Speaker, a member's mic is on.

Re: Bill C-10

Madam Speaker, I was saying that I was going to make the member happy by talking about the bill and the rapid tests, which we urgently want. I am also going to remind him that this is a federal initiative in health care and that the big problem during the pandemic was a lack of resources invested in our health care systems. In fact, that is why many of the restrictions had to be put in place. I would like to know what he thinks. Does my colleague also feel uncomfortable with his government's position, which is to stubbornly refuse to make health transfers to the provinces and Quebec? Those transfers are truly needed. The Liberals should stop bragging about spending $8 out of $10 of the assistance provided. There was nothing extraordinary about that. Your government has the money, but you do not have the responsibilities. Will the member undertake to work from the inside to change this once and for all and to transfer the necessary resources to Quebec?
