Mr. Speaker, when the Parti Quebecois government says we cut transfers to the provinces, it is contradicting the member, who has just said that all we cut were the benefits of the unemployed, and not transfers.
But we cut all over, except that we reduced transfers such as those for health and the other programs. We did, however, increase equalization payments. In fact, since we have been in government, transfers to the province of Quebec have remained at exactly the
same level. They are even slightly higher than they were when we came to office.
