Mr. Speaker, I wish to present a petition from the wonderful parishioners of Saint Clare of Assisi Catholic Church in my riding, where they go on to state that the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada call upon the House of Commons to adopt human rights and environmental due diligence legislation. I will just quickly say two of the points that they seek, which are to require companies to prevent adverse human rights impacts and environmental damage throughout their global operations and their supply chains, and for there to be meaningful consequences for companies that fail to carry out or report on adequate due diligence and to establish a legal right for people who have been harmed to seek justice in Canadian courts.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very interesting and very important speech. I would like to ask the hon. member from the province of Quebec, one of the signatories of the health care agreements, a question. We have come to an agreement with all 10 provinces and territories. The federal government will have an additional $198 billion, in total, of health care spending over the next 10 years to the provinces. With the negotiations for the child care agreements, I obviously salute the province of Quebec. It was a first mover on a child care program for its residents. I ask my hon. colleague across the way if he is not in favour of the health care agreement the Province of Quebec signed with the federal government, which is contained within budget 2023.
