Second—if the member could stop shouting, I would answer—the views I expressed on behalf of Quebecers, as the Bloc Quebecois is called upon to do and will continue to do and to fight for Quebecers in the years to come until we get out of this federation, those views are the same as the ones we heard throughout Canada. If they are not to be found in the Liberal majority report, it is simply because the member and his colleagues did not do their job. That is the problem.
Third, we have had quite enough of the kind of nonsense we have just heard. The recent adjustment in equalization payments is money that we were owed and that had not been given to us for two years because the parameters involved in equalization had not been properly assessed. That is the fact of the matter. That money was owing to us and more is still owing.
To give but one example, the harmonization of the GST with the provincial sales tax in the maritimes. Since the early 1990s, we in Quebec have harmonized the GST and the Quebec sales tax. We should be getting $2 billion for that and they are refusing to hand it over.
As I have said, the effort we are being asked to make with respect to the cuts has been $2 billion too high ever since 1994. That is another $2 billion they owe us, on top of the rest.
Much more could be added. There are the R and D laboratories, the productive spending in procurement of goods and services. Anyway, it is pointless. We have been telling them this for 20 years now and they refuse to believe it, even to believe their own statistics.
