Mr. Speaker, I would remind the hon. member that the GST deal with the Atlantic provinces is available to all provinces that lost funds on that.
It is interesting to look at the results from Quebec. Quebec benefited from harmonization. If one looks at the first year alone of harmonization, Quebec tax revenues increased by something like 20 per cent after harmonization.
Since harmonization, Quebec has benefited by about $2.5 billion to $3 billion. Maybe we should be looking at that $2.5 billion to $3 billion in increased revenues that Quebec gained from harmonization. Maybe Ontario should be looking at that as an opportunity for a better revenue performance of its own.
