Mr. Speaker, yesterday, when questioned about the federal government's refusal to withdraw from health, welfare and education as requested by Quebec, the Prime Minister said that he found Quebec's tax point transfer proposal unacceptable because this formula would not give the federal government enough credit with Canadians.
My question is for the Minister of Finance. Does the Minister of Finance agree with his Prime Minister and is he also more interested in ensuring the federal government's visibility than in reducing overlap and improving services to the public?
