Mr. Speaker, I am a little concerned about the member opposite making the Ontario comparison. It is almost like this is a ploy to divide and conquer.
What is wrong with having equality in our Confederation? All provinces should be treated equally. I cannot believe that the member is suggesting that the premier of Ontario should take exception to the premier of Saskatchewan. Are not all premiers supposed to be equal and are not all premiers supposed to look after their own provinces and do what is best for their provinces?
My riding is in the province of Ontario. We in Ontario want equality as well. The member said that the premier of Ontario cannot break his promise about raising taxes. I do not think the member is on very safe ground there, because the premier of Ontario has broken a few promises since the last election.
Is the member representing the Government of Canada when he says that he is trying to divide, that he should be comparing provinces? I have a hard time understanding that concept in Confederation.
