Mr. Speaker, there was an error. It was identified by the Auditor General. Where Quebec is concerned, however, instead of asking for $600 million to be paid back, we found a way not to ask the Province of Quebec for a single penny. It can therefore take 10 years, if it so desires, to pay back not a single cent.
In the House of Commons on October 22nd, 2002. See this statement in context.
