Mr. Speaker, my question to my colleague from Dartmouth is about the problems we do have. We talk about equalization and how it went up, but in one place, the Atlantic region, we have seen it go down. We see our youth leaving the region, not only in Halifax but in my riding too and all across the Atlantic provinces. They leave for other areas of the country.
Maybe she could explain for us and for Canadians the big effect this is having on the region where she is from in Nova Scotia. In a great country like ours, are we not supposed to look after each other? Right now are we not doing the wrong thing by not looking after each other?
