Mr. Speaker, on the second question, the solidarity of cabinet prevents me from answering. The leader of the third party should know that.
On the first question, we have been able to put together a package of measures that so far has united the country because we have tried to create jobs, we have tried to increase economic growth and we have tried to increase investment.
In terms of decentralization, we must recognize that decentralization is not a panacea to all the ills of the federation. Decentralization is justified only when it means that services are given by the levels of government best equipped to give them.
In terms of decentralization we want to serve Canadians, and Canadians once again are not served by applying an ideology of decentralization. They are served by levels of government that decide on the powers that each level should exercise according to how efficiently it can deliver services to Canadians.
