Mr. Speaker, six provinces asked that the GST be listed on the agenda of the first ministers' conference. Yesterday, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs told us to wait for the results of the finance ministers' conference. Nothing has been settled, as the provinces' request was turned down by the federal Minister of Finance.
The Prime Minister put the securities commission on the agenda because, he said, the provinces asked him to. He also put social programs on the agenda, again because the provinces asked him to. Will the Prime Minister put the GST on the agenda because, once again, the provinces have asked him to do so?
