Mr. Speaker, we offered a compensation to all the provinces which, based on the formula, will lose money.
Quebec did not lose money this year and did not lose any the year it signed the agreement. It is exactly in the same position as Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. We will compensate the provinces that lost money.
The compensation formula is a cost sharing formula that will only be in effect for a transition period of four years. Again, Quebec is in the same situation as Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta.
