Mr. Speaker, perhaps I will try another tack with my hon. friends. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance yesterday in his presentation went on at some length about the value of the transfer of tax points, which seems to be quite contradictory to the previous speaker's question. The parliamentary secretary went on to say this was good for enabling the provinces to fund health care.
Does my hon. friend acknowledge that when you look for funding health care through a transfer of tax points it benefits have provinces, those which obviously have a much better opportunity to generate wealth through their economies, and really penalizes have not provinces?
