Mr. Speaker, last week Yves Séguin, a Quebec federalist, acknowledged the need to rectify the fiscal imbalance that exists between the federal and provincial levels.
The same thing is being heard elsewhere. The provincial premiers agree on the fundamental importance of this problem. They say so at every conference. There is a consensus everywhere except in the federal cabinet, which will not acknowledge this reality.
Can the Prime Minister assure us that fiscal imbalance will be on the agenda of the next first ministers' conference?
