Madam Speaker, this week, all six urgent care chiefs of Quebec's hospitals declared the health care system to be at a breaking point. In that context, on Monday, in Vancouver, the Minister of Health will be meeting his counterparts from Quebec and the provinces to discuss health transfers. Yesterday's economic update did not plan for a penny more before 2028. The hospitals have reached a breaking point today; not in 2028 or next spring, but today. Why is the minister still going there empty-handed?

Madam Speaker, if it is truly very important, the Minister of Finance should be the one to go to Vancouver on Monday to meet with the health ministers. She controls the purse strings. She has already outlined her position in the economic update, however: there will be no health transfer increase in the short term. The health minister does not control the money transferred, he is responsible for the conditions that the federal government wants to attach to that money. Finally, with respect to the ministers' meeting in Vancouver on Monday, is the federal government attending merely to impose conditions?

Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from Trois-Rivières for his interesting speech. The French magazine L'Express ran a story this week in connection with what the member was referring to. It said that it can take five, six or nearly seven hours to read the terms of service on Internet sites. That is what we are asked to do before clicking “I agree”. Does the member believe we should set limits for this type of practice?
