Mr. Speaker, we have shown that we are there for Canadians, particularly vulnerable Canadians. I would like to start off by saying that the Conservatives voted against a dental benefit that is becoming available to Canadian parents today.

What a fantastic experience it was. It opened my eyes to the need to include them. My question is the following. In Quebec, we have so many good initiatives. Is my colleague open to referring the bill to committee to benefit from all the good things happening for people with autism in Quebec's health and social services system?
