Mr. Speaker, if the conference board has no credibility with the minister, how is it that he himself gave it a $185,000 contract this year to do a study?
Will the Minister of Finance have the decency and the honesty to admit that the conference board study which he is using to deny the existence of fiscal imbalance concludes, on the contrary, that there is indeed fiscal imbalance for each of the years, starting with this one, to the benefit of the federal government and its popularity and to the detriment of the provinces?
