There are a number of things wrong with this bill. There are the measures that supposedly demonstrate the government’s concern In this respect, I would like to quote from the Quebec finance with respect to social programs and the deterioration of health care, minister’s last budget speech, which sums up well the mess the which it brought about itself by cutting provincial transfer pay- federal government has left the provinces, and Quebec in particu- ments in the health, social services and education sectors over the lar: last three years. Since we took power in 1994, the federal government has unilaterally deprived us of $7 billion for health care, $3 billion for education, and $1 billion for asocial This bill is an attempt to make us think the government has assistance. This adds up to $11 billion. The figure does not include the $2 billion that invested in social programs, especially health. The reality is that Ottawa has refused to pay for the harmonization of the QST and the GST, although the three Atlantic Provinces were granted $1 billion. the government has put no new money into transfers, particularly not for health.
