Mr. Speaker, not at any cost. This is not harmonizing, it is a disguised form of welfare. The government calls it harmonization, but it is nothing short of a hold-up. It takes $961 million from the pockets of some taxpayers, puts it in the pockets of others and calls this harmonization.
Instead of giving it to the poor, to the fishermen to whom I referred earlier, the one receiving that money will give it to the businesses moving to his province, as the premier of New Brunswick did. You are using our money to compete with us and to attract industries, a sector so dear to the hon. member I was told not to look in the eye. But that is the problem.
