I'll follow your logic. Seven provinces have not paid the carbon tax, but they received in advance a rebate for a carbon tax they will never pay, all from the federal government's consolidated fund to which Quebeckers contribute 22%. Under Bill C‑4, you wrote cheques to people who had not paid. You issued rebates for something that was never paid.
When we ask that Quebec be given its fair share, we are told that we are being insolent and disrespectful. The Minister of Finance just told us that, because the federal government paid for a bridge 10 years ago, it's okay to rob us. We're told it's not related to Bill C‑4, Minister. We're also told that, because Quebec had its own responsible system, it's okay to steal from Quebec.
That's what I understand from your answer.
