Mr. Speaker, perhaps the member opposite ought to read the budget because this is what the budget actually says:
To respect the Offshore Accords, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador may continue to operate under the previous Equalization system...This fulfills and builds upon the government's commitment to respect the Offshore Accords and ensures that these provinces will continue to receive the full benefit that they are entitled to under [the accords].
That is what the budget actually says.
