Mr. Speaker, any time somebody sustains a brain injury, it has a devastating impact upon their life and the lives of those in their families. The member is absolutely right. We have to do everything we can. That is why we are making critical investments across the health system, with $200 billion of additional money being put in. Those dollars are to ensure that we not only can see better health outcomes, but also can have better prevention and better care. We saw a fantastic announcement in British Columbia. There is more to come in the rest of the country. Health transformation is happening.

Mr. Speaker, standing up for public health care is what we have done over the last eight years. It is certainly what we are going to do going forward. We made an investment of $200 billion in our health system, and we are making sure not only that this money flows but that there are indicators so Canadians can see how health outcomes are improving for them in every corner of this country. We are going to make sure these dollars reduce wait times, increase doctors and increase nurses, and we will make sure that, overall, Canadians get better health.

Mr. Speaker, together we have made huge progress in reducing drug costs for Canadians. By working together on bulk purchasing, $3.5 billion less is now spent by Canadians by reducing those costs. We need to and must do much more. That is why we are continuing to work, not only with the party opposite, the New Democrats, but also with all parties, with a strategy on rare diseases and with the introduction of legislation on pharmacare. Together, we can make sure that Canadians are not faced with the impossible choice of essentials or the medicine they need.

Mr. Speaker, let me add my voice in congratulating you. It is wonderful to see you in that role. I will say this to my hon. colleague: Ensuring that our public health care system remains public and that it is centred on making sure that everybody who needs health care is provided it, regardless of their circumstance, is at the core of everything we do. We have taken historic action on reducing drug prices. We are going to continue that. In fact, when we look at the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance, we have been able to see almost $3.5 billion in savings for Canadians in reducing drug costs. We have taken historic action on patent drugs—
