Mr. Speaker, the member said a lot of things. It is very easy for anyone in this House to take a series of figures, financial support here, a contract there and maybe a loan somewhere else. It can make different impressions.
We are mixing apples and oranges. Today's discussion is not about all the federal programs, but about regional development. The figures I quoted earlier are in the budget.
For fifteen seconds, I am going to comment on the social union. It is an agreement in which the provinces other than Quebec, wanting more money, sacrificed principles and jurisdictions for it, something Quebec was not prepared to do. It values its jurisdictions, it values its principles and its objectives and it will not be bought.
