Mr. Speaker, it is very clear that last year we paid $130 million to Quebec in connection with harmonization of the GST and the QST. That is very important to point out in this debate. The Minister of Finance has spoken with his counterpart, Quebec's finance minister about this policy. We will continue to work with the Government of Quebec, not with the Bloc.
In the House of Commons on October 2nd, 2009. See this statement in context.
