Mr. Speaker, it is important to recognize that leaders in some provinces pushed hard to get the best accommodation they could for the concerns and the situations in their provinces. We are happy about that, but at the same time we have a duty and responsibility for fairness for all Canadians.
Therefore, we will honour the accommodation that was reached with Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia, which fully, 100%, excludes non-renewable resource revenue. At the same time, we have moved to put this important program back on a basis of fairness and equality, the same standard for all. I hope that at the end of the day, politics aside, the members opposite will respect that, applaud that, and support that.
