I would like to ask a question , with your permission, Mr. Chairman.

With regard to section 4, the government of Quebec is free to withdraw and be exempted from the bill. If it so chooses, Quebec could, de facto, receive the entire transfer payment it would be entitled to. Given that the French version of the bill says that it “peut“ receive this payment, this is not imperative; it is not as if the text stated that Quebec will receive it.

Would you agree with me?
