Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.
Yesterday, in reference to Canada's future, the minister said that the No side was the one promoting change, as evidenced by the new Canada social transfer.
With this surprising statement, is the Minister of Finance telling Quebecers that, following a No vote on October 30, Canada's proposed change would be the implementation of the social transfer through which Ottawa will, over a two year period, deprive the provinces of 7 billion dollars, including 2.5 billion in the case of Quebec?
