Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the member whether he believes that Canada should treat every province and territory the same. That is what some of his other colleagues have suggested.
We cannot treat every province equally because they all face different situations. The whole country is based on the foundation of helping provinces or territories at times when they are in need. That is the generosity of this nation. The provinces came into Confederation with different terms and conditions and they continue to be dealt with in the way that is needed. They are treated fairly, not equally. I wonder if the member thinks this is the way to run the nation.
The Prime Minister has solved the greatest issue that has been on the minds of Canadians for a generation and that is health care. Equalization is one of the greatest foundations of our nation. It has just been replaced in a manner that is acceptable across the country. That is why the country is running so smoothly.
