Madam Speaker, continuing with the parliamentary secretary in this debate I believe the issue is for the people, particularly of the Toronto area, who presently under the current socialist government in Ontario have seen their taxes increase very significantly. As revenue critic we are frequently bringing up the issue that probably this federal government is going to be increasing taxes. They see their municipal taxes increasing and then at the same time they see that another jurisdiction, the Quebec jurisdiction as opposed to the Ontario jurisdiction, is given approximately twice as much money for the immigration settlement.
I wonder if the parliamentary secretary might not agree that if we are attempting to create an environment in which people are not going to be hostile toward legitimate immigrants coming in-I agree with him, building Canada but I cannot help but wonder when there is this imbalance that the Liberal members from Ontario and particularly Toronto are not raising this particular issue. Would he not agree that with this imbalance, where Quebec has taken its affairs into its own hands and has said that it can afford to assimilate 40,000 people, whereas the federal government seems to be imposing much larger numbers on Ontario, particularly on the Toronto area, and the practical fact that people are seeing their dollars going further and further awry, that this is part of the reason for the hostility, some of it founded, some of it unfounded, nonetheless this does contribute to the problem.
