Mr. Speaker, has the member for Westmount—Ville-Marie read the motion tabled today by the Bloc Québécois?
The motion refers clearly to “elimination of the federal spending power in areas that fall under the jurisdiction of Quebec”.
It is not a case of removing all of the budget reserved for other matters, such as defence or international aspects. We are not talking about that. We are talking about the fields of jurisdiction of the provinces.
“Elimination” is the precise term that applies to the fields of jurisdiction and “placing limits” deals with the question of placing limits on the process of tax transfers to Quebec.
How can she say that we talking about something total and complete for Quebec when she has not even read the motion?
