As for the three specific questions on cuts in the west versus those in the east, you know, Mr. Speaker, the people from the west-Mr. Speaker, I thank you for having reminded me to address my comments to the Chair because it is my intention to do so.
That is the problem with Bloc members. They are like that sometimes. It is sad because there are people, men and women, who are very broad-minded when they want to- Here is what Westeners are saying: We had a 100 per cent cut, while in the east they suffered a cut of only 30 per cent.
This is how people think. One member said that they would receive compensation. Of course, but if their subsidies are totally eliminated, perhaps it is only right for them to be compensated.
Mr. Speaker, they do not want to consider this: compensation for having lost 100 per cent of their subsidies. But a 30 per cent reduction is not fair. Members should think about it.
As for family trusts, we are the first government to act on the issue.
