I think that is totally in the realm of politics. The other day I met the Premier of Quebec at the club and I asked him “Jean, when are you going to stop buying votes?” And he said in very honest answer, “When I'm no longer in politics.”
I sincerely believe that 42% of Quebeckers don't pay any income tax for political reasons. I sincerely believe that the structure of the education amount of money that is required per student is totally politically based, etc. And I think what the people in Parliament have to do is to differentiate some of these items from politics, these political favouritisms.
I can also give you another one--the amalgamation of the islands of Montreal by the Quebec government. Thank God I'm in the Westmount room today and we escaped. I was on that committee and we were told that was going to bring lower taxes. What has it done? It has done the opposite. The costs have gone up by 30%. Again, it was an attempt to buy the votes of the unions, and that was all there was to it.
