  • Re: Bill C-32 
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his presentation, and I know he is not going to like what I am going to say. He likes to talk about the 22% health transfer, but I do not know if he is aware that in 1977, which may be before he was born, the federal government transferred tax points to all the provinces. The federal government reduced its tax room and transferred it to the provinces. If we take into consideration the tax room acquired by Quebec and the other provinces, the federal government's contribution to health is actually 33%. Is my colleague aware of the historic 1977 decision to transfer tax points?
