Mr. Speaker, before answering the question, I too would like to congratulate the hon. member and I encourage him to speak French more often in the new year to show everyone that Canada is really a bilingual country, as the Liberals like to put it.
I want to point out to the hon. member that community organizations and transfers both come under provincial jurisdiction. What have the Liberals done since 1993? They have infringed upon jurisdictions when they had no reason to do so.
Everything that has to do with health care and the municipalities also come under provincial jurisdiction. I encourage my hon. colleague to tell his government, which has way too much money, to give some back to the provinces. I am sure they will ensure that the money goes to the people.
