Thank you Mr. Chair. I would like to ask my first question in French.
Mr. Minister, I would like to clarify your new definition that we learned today, of what the net debt is of the federal government. You just admitted that you are responsible for the debt for all the provinces.
If this is true, since you decided to not respect the agreements signed with the provinces, such as the agreements on daycares, the Kelowna Accord, additional transfers for health and transfers for post-secondary education, will the provinces' debt be paid by the federal government from the amounts that were not transferred to the provinces?
