Mr. Speaker, the government will honour the commitment it made to correct the fiscal imbalance through talks with the provinces.
However, we will not accept just any figure that comes from anyone and is suggested by the Bloc Québécois, a completely powerless party that cannot deliver the goods for Quebeckers. Today, they are talking about $4 billion. Why not $10 billion or even $20 billion? The Bloc Québécois is pulling figures out of the air.
We are working closely with the Government of Quebec to correct this fiscal imbalance, which was created by the previous Liberal government.
