Mr. Speaker, the answer to the question is absolutely not. First of all, we should say that when we signed our equalization project with the provinces a month and a half ago, we were very generous with the provinces and certainly with Quebec.
Second, what we did this time around is that, instead of cutting, we decided to freeze for two years. We will declare a moratorium, a period during which the Minister of Human Resources can work with the provinces to really save money on both sides. We hope that, with the social security reform led by the minister, this will not cost the provinces or the provincial governments anything. I had discussions with the provincial finance ministers, including the Quebec finance minister, and this approach was quite popular.
