Mr. Speaker, it is right there in black and white: The government is threatening to cut health transfers if we refuse to swap our francophone workers for unilingual English doctors. Quebec does not need unilingual English doctors. We need doctors who can speak French and provide care in French. We need doctors that Quebeckers can explain their health problems to in their own language. If the federal government wants to be useful, all it has to do is increase health transfers, and we will hire doctors. Will the government stop taking Quebeckers' money and blackmailing them? Enough is enough.
