Mr. Speaker, we are aware that there is a finance ministers meeting on this. The premiers of Ontario and Quebec and others have asked that this be on the agenda for the first ministers meeting.
There are rumours that the conference is scheduled to discuss transfers of federal powers and realignment of authority to the provinces. Will the federal government table its proposals in this area in this House so Canadians can know in precise detail what is being offered and discussed by the first ministers before any deals are cooked?
