Mr. Speaker, if the minister wants to talk about the budget of 2000, we can certainly do so. In 2000, just before the general election, the government was in a panic and sent cheques to all citizens of Quebec, including some who were dead and some who were in jail, to reduce the price of the litre of heating oil, which stood at 50¢. Yesterday, the price of a litre of heating oil was 60¢.
Why did the Minister of Finance not think about helping those who are paying 60¢ for a litre of heating oil? Is it because the next election is still a long time away?
