Mr. Speaker, the government signed bilateral agreements with all 13 provinces and territories this past March. A few weeks ago, in my riding, three agreements were announced with the territorial governments, to invest a total amount of nearly $86 million to improve health care access and services for the Yukon. Can you elaborate on what this health investment means for those living in the Yukon and for all Canadians? This is for the Minister of Health.

I am certain the hon. member for Yukon was not asking the Speaker to elaborate but indeed the Minister of Health to elaborate. The hon. Minister of Health has the floor.

You, Mr. Speaker, would also be very enthusiastic about the bilateral agreements that have been signed across this country. I want to thank the member for Yukon for his extraordinary work, not only as a member of Parliament but as a physician and a chief medical officer. The work he has done to promote public health and better health for Canadians across the country really has to be commended. I was so proud to be with him in the Yukon to make an announcement that is going to see more doctors and more nurses, reduce backlog, improve access to care and make sure that we allow our seniors to age at home. It is part of a $200-billion plan to take action across the country.
