Mr. Speaker, what we said during the Quebec election campaign was not just so many empty words. It was the only good response, because whether or not we think there is a fiscal imbalance, what matters is that governments help each other out.
For example, the Prime Minister of Canada made a commitment that if we ever ended up with a greater surplus than expected, an additional $2 billion would be given to the provinces for health care. That is the kind of help that will be possible in the sort of federation that we will be able to build with a government in Quebec that believes in Canada.
