It is better than the present situation, and $80 million more a year for my province is real benefit, it is real dollars, and we should not have this nonsense of deplorable attitudes. The other night we saw that party join the Bloc Québécois in a motion saying that there was a fiscal imbalance.
What they are really all about, in other words, is not only supporting a separatist motion, but they are about dismantling the Government of Canada. What they want is a weaker federation.

When they understand that, when they come around from that position, they might get somewhere, but they are a long way from that right now.
