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, that is not true. There are investments in dental care and there are members in the House who voted against them. The Minister of Health will meet with his provincial and territorial counterparts in Vancouver next week to further discuss, among other priorities, how we can continue to work together to solve the health care worker crisis and improve access to family health services across the country.
