Madam Speaker, any time we vote on bills in this place, we in the Bloc Québécois are always careful to vote with our conscience. There may be times when we vote against certain bills not because of their principle, but because we respect jurisdictions. I have a question for my hon. colleague. I am concerned about this temporary solution, given how vulnerable people are. As we have said from the beginning, we support providing this assistance, but how are we going to ensure that people who need assistance for both housing and dental care can access this money? That is what worries me.

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I would like him to know that when it comes down to it, no one is against children receiving dental care or low-income people receiving help to pay their rent. That is why we were in favour of the bill at first reading. However, I have a question for him. Will his government be open-minded and consider transferring the money for this program to the provinces and Quebec? Obviously I am referring to the fact that Quebec already has a dental insurance program. It is not perfect, of course, but it could be improved. There is already a structure in place. Will the government insist on imposing another, or will it respect the jurisdictions?
