Madam Speaker, this is entertaining. It is like when people in Quebec bicker about who is the king of poutine or who created it. What is not so funny is that everyone here is going to argue that the best health care system is public, universal and free. Everyone is going to say we do not want a two-tiered health care system, like the American system. However, the problem here is that after describing the situation with health care they then urge Canada to save it. Quebec has health legislation. The problem for the Bloc is that the NDP puts Canada first. We feel a sense of belonging to Quebec. To guarantee a public health care system, we must ensure that the federal government commits to funding it as part of its spending power.

Madam Speaker, we agree with the substance of the motion, in other words, the need to strengthen our free universal public health care systems. In Quebec, we watch these issues closely, but this is not the place to be debating them. We see what is happening in Ontario and Manitoba, as well as the potential abuses, and I think there are some battles to be fought. However, the most important battle to wage, when we talk about staffing, working conditions and labour shortages, is getting the federal government to provide adequate funding to the provinces so that they can carry out their responsibilities. Why did the NDP not call out the federal government's inadequate investment in the latest agreement with the provinces?
