Mr. Speaker, I am afraid my French is not very good. It is pretty rough around the edges. My friend, the member for Lotbinière is very troubled. Perhaps he could tell me why he is afraid of anyone from Ontario or from Canada's other provinces.
The member for Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke would like an answer from the member for Lotbinière. I think the member for Lotbinière has a problem. He did not invent sliced bread. I call on him to explain the equalization payments Quebec receives, which are over $1 billion. Can he explain that to me?
