Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. I really appreciated what she said about how pesticides affect people's lives and health. In the summer of 2021, the Liberal government decided to increase traces of pesticides, including glyphosate, in pulses and berries. There was outrage, and the Liberals were forced to backtrack. At the time, they promised to be more transparent. Today, we learned that an organization called Vigilance OGM received 229 blank pages from Health Canada in response to its ATIP request. What does that say about the Liberals' concern for people's health and their government's transparency?

Mr. Speaker, this is a heartbreaking message from Sébastin Marin, a doctor at the hospital in Ormstown. He wrote: “I ended my night with a patient who died right in front of me from a ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm. That same patient had waited 16 hours yesterday at another hospital without being seen...There was nothing I could do. He died within minutes of arriving.” The patient spent 16 hours waiting in the ER even though he had a history of vascular disease. When will the Liberal government take action and make the necessary investments to give our public health care system room to breathe?
