You cannot be political, and I understand that, but we obviously have to try to obtain clarification with respect to the points we raise. The problem is that the government says that it resolved the fiscal imbalance in the last budget, whereas we, in the Bloc Québécois, claim that the government has not resolved the fiscal imbalance, since there has been no tax transfer.
I am not asking you to tell me whether the fiscal imbalance has been resolved or not; I understand that you cannot answer that question. But from the perspective of the Department of Finance, did the last budget actually provide for a tax transfer—because we are talking here about fiscal equalization—or was it, instead, a cash transfer?
