Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the support for the budget provided by Bloc Québécois members of Parliament, we are here today to discuss Bill C-52. This budget allowed a significant part of the fiscal imbalance to be corrected.
Three or four years ago, only Bloc Québécois members were talking about this matter in Parliament. Today, at least one financial aspect is resolved, but the true problem of fiscal imbalance, which is real and which requires the transfer of tax points, or some other kind of permanent transfer, still exists. If we keep this model, we will be depending on the government's financial health for years to come.
Bill C-52 is not perfect, but it will allow a budget to go into effect that provides more money to Quebec. This is what the Bloc Québécois members wanted.
Are you prepared to keep working so that the fiscal imbalance is really corrected, or will things just be as you mentioned in your introductory notes?
