Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my hon. colleague on her speech. She seemed quite sincere. I have a quick question regarding the member's own province. Again I thank her for the sincerity she has shown for my own province, where we have reached this critical time. The member has obviously shown her interest.
Pertaining to the member's own province of Alberta, she alluded to equalization and how Alberta struggled through those years while getting equalization and of course reaping the benefits of royalties as well. I am not trying to be combative, but I would like the member to explain to me how they went from being a have not province to being a have province and how this particular deal differs. Also, how is it that Premier Williams' deal is similar to what Alberta went through?
