Mr. Speaker, once again, the public safety minister is misleading the House. He claimed that the RCMP had taken decisive actions to shut down all Beijing-funded police stations, yet contrary to this claim, two Montreal community groups under investigation for holding secret Chinese government police stations say they continue to operate normally, with no closure requests from the RCMP. Why is this minister misleading Canadians? Why would he not shut these stations down?

Mr. Speaker, on our side, we are simply talking about the facts. Fact one: Two months ago, the RCMP announced that there were two police stations being run by Beijing, one in Brossard and one in Montreal. Fact two: The Prime Minister has already clearly stated that he would take any action possible to stop hostile operations in Canada. Fact three: Last Thursday, the Minister of Public Safety stated in committee that the police stations run by Beijing were closed. Why is the Minister of Public Safety misleading Canadians?

Madam Speaker, I feel sorry the member. He has been here an awfully long time, and maybe the length of time is shading some of his memories. The Harper Conservative government increased health transfers every year by 6%. What the member just shared could be viewed as incorrect, but I would not use unparliamentary language to describe the misleading statistics that he put forward because he knows that is wrong. I would like to add that the member is a coalition partner with the Liberals. The last time the Liberals were in government, before this time, they slashed the transfers to the provincial governments. In my province, what that meant was 52 rural hospitals were closed, because the Liberals cut the health transfers to Saskatchewan. It is on them as a partner in this costly coalition.
