Mr. Speaker, I am extremely happy that my colleague asked a couple of questions and made some comments. We will introduce the new Canada act when we are over there and they are over here.
The second factor is that under no circumstances will we give up the cornerstone of the policy that all Canadians and all provinces are equal. How did we suddenly come to recognize the factor that 70% of the provinces are have nots? It was from the formula those members came up with that is so complex nobody can understand it. People in my province cannot understand this formula. It is they who have created have not provinces versus have provinces. The Reform Party has stated that.
We agree with equalization. We agree with the policy that all Canadians are equal, but we are asking for a better allocation of resources like we have proposed. Those members must have been listening to what we have said about how the equalization program should work.
