Mr. Speaker, this summer, 11 emergency rooms in Alberta closed due to the shortage of health care workers, and today we learned that some Canadians are being forced to leave overcrowded emergency rooms without treatment due to no staff. The Liberals and the Conservatives have failed to protect Canadians from Conservative leaders like Danielle Smith and Scott Moe, who want U.S.-style health care that will poach nurses and doctors from our public system. When will the federal government stand up for Canada's public health care and ensure that our hospitals have the staff they need to care for Canadians?

Madam Speaker, I am sorry about this, but I am going to speak in French, because it is important to try. The federal government has reduced its share of funding over many years, leaving hospitals with a shortfall of several billions of dollars. Does the member think that the federal government should restore its share of the funding and increase health transfers to the provinces?
