Mr. Speaker, a review of equalization is already under way. I expect to receive a report on that during the course of this coming winter.
I would also point out that in addition to increasing transfer payments to the provinces by $100 billion, we have also reduced the tax burden on Canadians by $100 billion.
If the provinces believe that they need more taxes, we have provided them some room that they could occupy, if they think that is the right thing to do.
