Madam Speaker, I would like to ask my energetic colleague what she thinks about this. The Bloc Québécois proposes to do two things to control the cost of living. First, to help seniors in particular, we want to see no reductions in the guaranteed income supplement for those who received the Canada emergency response benefit or the Canada recovery benefit during the pandemic. Next, the Bloc Québécois would like to increase old age security to preserve seniors' purchasing power. What does my colleague think about these two proposals?

Mr. Speaker, I think the Chair is in exceptionally good spirits tonight and I think that is wonderful. I would like to begin by saying that my colleague is an extraordinary orator. I will give him that. That is wonderful. I am happy to see how seriously he defends the sovereignty of Taiwan against Chinese rule. I like that, and I think that we are all in agreement tonight. My question is the following. On the day Quebec gains independence, will my colleague fight just as hard to bring us into the World Health Organization?

Mr. Speaker, I am personally very happy that the Liberal Party is very much in favour of Taiwan joining the WHO. I am pleasantly surprised, but I also remain cautious about the Liberal government's position, because, in other areas, it has been so fearful of offending the Chinese because of its attitude towards Taiwan. The government therefore has been reluctant to act and has not behaved as we would have liked. What are my colleague's thoughts on that? On this matter relating to the WHO, why should we be so quick to accept this position?
