Mr. Speaker, Canada developed in such a way that today, for example, the aeronautical industry is concentrated in Quebec. It could have been elsewhere in Canada, but that is the way things turned out.
Some sectors are concentrated in Quebec, some in Ontario, some in other provinces, so that Canada manages to develop in an equitable way. But there is always room for improvement.
I am not saying that Canada cannot be improved; it can always be improved. But one should not separate from a country simply because of petty quarrels on approximate budget levels on one side or another. One can find all kinds of justifications. For example, Quebec naturally receives money for national ports but, because it is in the middle of the Prairies, we have not yet dug a river in Saskatchewan so that we can give that province its share of the national ports budget. That province does not receive anything for national ports but it does not complain about it.
