Mr. Speaker, I listened with great attention to the discourse of the hon. member. Of course, the reason I listened with great attention is not that I agree with him; it was because I wanted to have the opportunity to state the opposite, mainly of course to bring the facts back to what they are, which I know is what Mr. Speaker would want me to do, being the truly objective non-partisan person that Mr. Speaker is. Being truly objective and non-partisan as he is, he will therefore appreciate what I am just about to say here.
Now, on gas tax revenues, because I know the hon. member is a member of Parliament from Ontario, a very good province of course, he knows that Ontario will receive more than $1.9 billion over the next five years as a result of the Liberal government's decision to transfer a portion of the federal gas tax revenues to the municipalities. I want to know whether that means he will vote for the measures in question.
