Mr. Speaker, we have debated this issue time and time again. The member knows quite well that he would be hard pressed to find any other federal government in the world that has a smaller share of public revenues than the Canadian federal government. The share of the federal government's revenues compared to the Canadian economy is lower now than it was in 1949.
Which leads us to wonder, given the repetition of these same questions by the Bloc Quebecois, if it is not desperately trying to justify its existence.
