What we are asking for, and have consistently asked for, is fairness, the fairness by which other Canadians have been treated over the course of time. I ask you, therefore, is it a fair measure of fiscal capacity, as governed by equalization pay-out, that our friends in Manitoba will receive $2 billion and the people of Saskatchewan will receive zero of these federal entitlements? Remember, these entitlements are provided by the people of Saskatchewan. They're being provided by the resources that belong to the people of Saskatchewan.
