Mr. Speaker, last week I had the honour of attending the high-level meeting on antimicrobial resistance at the United Nations in New York as a director of UNITE, an international parliamentary organization for global public health. Antimicrobial resistance, or AMR, is one of the top ten global public health threats to humanity and causes more than five million deaths per year. Political leadership is essential for raising public awareness. We must work together to combat AMR. This is why the Government of Canada established a PHAC AMR task force and provided an important, multi-year funding commitment of over $28 million in 2021. This government recognizes the need to continue supporting research efforts in budget 2024 by allocating $1.8 billion to core research grant funding. I encourage everyone to work together for global public health in Canada and around the world.

Uqaqtittiji, last week, I met with the Tumikuluit Saipaaqivik day care in Iqaluit, a day care that provides culturally appropriate care in Inuktitut. Because of a lack of funding, it is on the verge of closing. In 2022, the Liberals promised millions of dollars to Nunavut day care. The funding is taking too long to make its way to Tumikuluit Saipaaqivik day care. Will the Liberals ensure Tumikuluit does not fall through the cracks and get the urgent funding it needs to stay open?

Madam Speaker, earlier I was listening intently to my colleague, who is a doctor, talking about the shortcomings of the health care system. However, I have never heard his leader clearly state whether he supports the provinces' request to increase health care funding from 22% to 35%. This government has not agreed to that request. I would like to hear my colleague's comments on that. Does he agree with that? Would his leader be willing to increase the federal share of health care funding from 22% to 35%?
