 Bonjour tout le monde. I want to thank Kim for acknowledging, as we all do, that we are on the traditional unceded and shared territories of the Coast Salish peoples, the Katsy, the Kwanttlin, Matsui, and Semihamu First Nations. Merci John pour ton introduction et pour tout le travail que tu fais. It's always great to be here to visit you in Cloverdale-Langley City. Thank you for everything you do for this community as an extraordinarily important voice for them in Ottawa and a great member of our team. Also really happy to be here with Sukhdalliwal, our MP for Suri Newton, who is also a very strong voice for Suri, and I can add that Minister Carla Qualtra wanted to be here today as well but wasn't able to join us, but she is on the credential recognition file and job training file, which is so important for everyone today. Premier Ebi, David, it's always an incredible pleasure to be here with you. We've worked together extraordinarily well on a lot of different things over the past number of months and we will continue to and the healthcare announcements we're making today is just another great example of that and really happy to be here with Minister Robinson, Andrew Mercier, and Megan Dykeman as well. And also Deputy Mayor, thank you very much Rosemary for welcoming us here to Langley City. I also want to thank Quantland Polytechnic University for having us today and give a special shout out to the students that we got to meet earlier. Some of the students I met were internationally educated and are getting training so that they can practice here in Canada. I asked them about the reasons they chose to come to Canada and the work they were doing in the healthcare system but not to the level of their qualifications yet and it's great to see that alongside local students who are getting to be our ends and psychiatric nurses, we have international arrivals who are now permanent residents or citizens who are going to be contributing to the fullness of their potential and abilities to the pressures we're having on our healthcare system. We're glad they're here and we absolutely need their skills and their dedication because across Canada healthcare workers have been stretched to their limits. They're working doubles and overtime to be there for patients. They're going above and beyond to make up for staffing shortages. Our health systems are confronted with challenges and these challenges affect the staff members and patients. That's why our government has laid out a plan to strengthen public healthcare across the country working hand in hand with provinces. This plan will make major investments but we know that money alone won't fix everything so we also want to work with provinces and territories on bilateral deals that will deliver real improvements that people can see and feel. So I'm so glad that today we're able to officially announce that the federal government and the government of British Columbia have reached an agreement in principle that moves us forward on healthcare. Thank you David. In fact I can actually add one more to the list today. We now have a signed agreement with Saskatchewan as well. We're glad to have them take the step with us and be part of improving our healthcare systems across the country from coast to coast to coast. Both provinces will join the seven others that have already signed on in creating three-year action plans that map out exactly how they will use these funds to make the improvements that Canadians are counting on. We have now concluded an agreement with nine provinces and we are planning to announce the agreements with the last and the three territories. Each agreement will be tailored and flexible to the needs of each province and territory but consistent among all is the joint responsibility to collect information that monitors how the healthcare system is performing so we know that it is delivering the improvements that Canadians deserve. Things like the percentage of Canadians who have access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner and tracking to make sure that that percentage keeps increasing or how long wait lists for appointments is appointments and surgeries are and whether they're decreasing. More access to mental health care and substance use care which I know is a shared priority with our partners here in BC where you're all on the front lines of the opioid epidemic and moving towards a more modern system that allows for you to securely share your health information with your entire health care team. We're doing this because what gets measured gets done. Another element of our plan is asking provinces and territories to improve how we recognize foreign credentials for health professionals so that's easier for nurses like the ones I met here at KPU Langley to get their careers started treat patients and be part of easing the pressure on our overworked health care professionals. We're also committing $2 billion for an Indigenous Health Equity Fund to support First Nations, Inuit and Métis partners in closing health care gaps. Once again, I would like to thank the Prime Minister to have helped us to conclude as quickly as possible this issue. Fixing health care is a big issue and we know we can't solve it overnight but our government will continue pushing forward together with our partners so that we can deliver real results for Canadians and uphold the principles of publicly funded universal health care that Canadians are so rightly proud of.
