Mr. Speaker, there are plenty of health care needs in Quebec. Rather than responding to those needs in the budget, the Liberals are creating a new dental care program on top of the one we already have in Quebec. That is close to $3 billion that Quebec could put into areas where it would be more useful or use to improve the existing program. That is why the Quebec National Assembly just unanimously called for Quebec to have the right to opt out with full compensation. Will the government commit to honouring the unanimous request of Quebec's elected officials?

Mr. Speaker, there are needs throughout Quebec's health care system. The system is in crisis. The Liberals did not prioritize those needs in their budget. The Liberals prioritized the needs of the Liberals. They have not listened to Quebec's demands. Their main concern is to make sure they stay in power by maintaining their alliance with the NDP. Their priority is insuring a majority, not insuring dental care. Is the government committed to respecting Quebec's unanimous request? I repeat: It is asking for the right to opt out with full compensation.
