Mr. Speaker, when they hear things that do not please them, the members of the Bloc Quebecois launch into personal attacks, saying such things as: "I hope my colleague for Outremont will be intelligent enough-" Obviously, what I said does not suit him, because he is not hearing what he would like to hear from members on this side. He knows that what he is hearing from members on this side is also what the people want to hear.
As for the Canada social transfer and the human resources investment fund, I was among the members of Quebec who stood for these issues in the national caucus, and for two reasons. First, we are an economically responsible government. As such, we had to rationalize the programs to propoerly manage the debt and the deficit. Second, we had to decentralize as well, because that was what people were asking for. I was among those who championed these two programs. I am proud of it, and proud of what the government did.
