No, obviously not. We put money toward education. The responsibility of the federal government is to ensure that there are comparable levels of service across this country, by providing appropriate dollars to provide those services. It's not for the federal government to dictate to the provinces, for example, to tell Quebec how to conduct its provincial responsibilities in education. For me, that would not be consistent with our Constitution, and how it's divided.
