Mr. Ouellet, before you conclude, I would like to tell you that having experience here is an advantage. There are two differences between Quebec and the other provinces. First of all, Quebec collects its own income tax, whereas in Ontario and the other provinces, the federal government does that.
Secondly, Quebec is also compensated for the shortfall by means of certain transfers. People have thought about that problem and resolved it a long time ago. The only problem that remains is the breakdown of federal employees between Ontario and Quebec in the national capital region, and not that you get less for the work, because that has been taken care of. Several governments attempted to solve that problem. They are attempting to reach a 75-25 breakdown. They continue to try and meet those standards, or to exceed them, if possible.
I would like us to take a five-minute break. After that, we will come back for some additional questions.
