Even for the question of amalgamation. We know very well why the people, our friends in Quebec, got rid of their government.
As for the position being taken, we must be reasonable. The position taken by the government is to find ways to ensure that the money goes to benefit everyone in the country, whether they are in Ontario, Quebec, or the Maritimes. This money has to come back in order to sort out the troubling things we are finding at present, that is ensuring that there is enough money to meet commitments.
We must not do as the Bloc Quebecois wishes and create divisions. That is their philosophy: to create rifts between the other provinces and cities.
Still, I find what the hon. member about seniors and the least well-off interesting. I was the vice-chair of one of the committees examining this question. Their party was opposed to changes in the pharmaceutical patent regulations that could have lightened the financial burden on veterans and retired people.
With regard to the people who must use these medications, the Bloc protects the industry rather than the interests of seniors, people who have fought for our country and who built a country that the Bloc should be ashamed of trying to destroy.
