Mr. Speaker, I thank the member opposite for his question. First of all I cannot comment on the motivations for the Bloc Quebecois to bring this motion forward. I really do not know what the intent was. All I can say is that was my reaction in reviewing it and that is what prompted my engagement in the debate today.
As far as the difference between duplication and overlap, they both cost taxpayers money. We are concerned about getting at the issue of the economics of it as opposed to defining what the difference is between duplication and overlap. They both are inefficient and they both cost taxpayers money. That is the angle we want to attack it from. There does need to be discussions among various levels of government concerning duplication and overlap and there clearly is a good case for that.
