Mr. Speaker, meanwhile, the crisis is worsening in our hospitals. The situation is so untenable that exhausted nurses at Maisonneuve-Rosemont hospital refused to go back to work two weeks ago. They even threatened to quit. At this point, working meetings are not enough; they need results. Quebec and the provinces have been voicing their needs. They have been doing so for the past 28 months, and they did so again this morning. On February 7, will Ottawa at least put some money on the table, to prove that it is negotiating in good faith?

Mr. Speaker, I do not think my colleague across the way listened to anything I said. There is a portion of families who are being left out of this, and a lot of those families carried us through the pandemic: our doctors, our nurses, our frontline care workers. They work erratic hours. Our shift workers would not be able to access this. It is typical of the government to put its fingers in the provincial jurisdiction and tell provinces what to do, and if they do not get in line, too bad so sad.
