Mr. Speaker, if the hon. member is criticizing me for not speaking about the motion, I could criticize him for having misunderstood my speech because I did indeed refer to the motion. Furthermore, I said that agreements on health and equalization are measures aimed at helping all the provinces.
Can we agree that Saskatchewan does not have the same concerns as Newfoundland and Nova Scotia? Considering that the unemployment rate is almost 20%—which is not the case in Saskatchewan—do these provinces not deserve special attention? I hope the hon. member agrees and that he will be able to tell Labrador and Nova Scotia that he is in favour of the agreement. If we want to have a balanced budget, we have to work together to find solutions. That is what we are doing on this side of the House.
