Mr. Speaker, the federal government works very hard with all the provinces to reduce overlap in every sector, including human resources and the environment.
I also said that the work done by my colleague, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, aims precisely at determining costs and reducing those costs for all taxpayers.
The hon. member asked about the cost of federalism. I think that, instead of complaining like he does about every initiative taken by the government, he should tell Quebecers about the cost of separation.
