Madam Speaker, before I direct a question to the hon. member from the Bloc I want to say that I was very shocked to hear about the promises my Reform colleagues made. They made promises to the Canadian people about what they would or would not do with the GST. How many times have they changed their minds just because of the political tide?
I suggest once and for all that they come out with a solid position, quit changing their minds and quit being hypocritical with the Canadian people.
Once again Bloc members are crying. They are holding their hands out to the Government of Canada, “please give us billions of dollars”.
The question they should answer for themselves is whether it is fair for Canadians to pay Quebeckers $2 billion, for that matter even one penny. There has been no loss established. In fact, there has been a gain. I think members should ask themselves is it fair. I think not. It is hypocrisy. The answer will be somewhat from a spoiled child. Is the answer fair? I say no, it is hypocritical.
