Madam Speaker, I listened with some interest to the member for Sherbrooke. We know that he is more recently elected than some of us, so he is moving into the scene of looking at what the Liberals are doing with the finances.
I have a question that is really quite different. He made mention of the transfer payments and claims there were transfer payments to which they were entitled that they did not get.
Does the member have any comprehension of how large those transfer payments were and what would happen if they got their way and left the country? I am sure he has heard this question many times, but I think it is one of the larger reasons why they should consider abandoning their plan of taking a big chain saw and floating themselves out into the Atlantic Ocean.
