I did, not successfully, I am sure you are devastated to find out.
I believed that with one taxpayer we could reduce the costs that were associated with the job of collecting taxes. That has not been successful in Ontario. We have done harmonization in other parts of the country working with the provinces.
Because I only have 30 seconds left, and I am sure all are devastated, there is one bottom line, and I want to ask the opposition, what does it say to the other provinces? There are four provinces, three of which are have provinces under the terms of Confederation, one of which is aware of the problem and willing to deal with it. What does the opposition say to the other provinces and the territories? Because we gave one province an overpayment we will send the other three an overpayment as well and just even things up? It is not even a reasonable position for the opposition to take.
We have an obligation to manage fiscally and be responsible in this parliament, in this government, and it is my view that by working out a reasonable relationship with the provinces we are doing exactly that.
