Mr. Speaker, I would like to make a comment. I am outraged when I hear what government members are saying. They make it sound like the collection of revenues is a race between the federal government and the provinces. The member says that since the provinces have more revenues than the federal government, the federal government should not give anything back to them.
Wait just a minute. Provinces have more revenues but their responsibilities are greater. They are the ones with responsibilities, not the federal government.
Did the hon. member compare the provinces' responsibilities with those of the federal government?
