Mr. Speaker, I really wonder why the Conservative government's Minister of Finance is so concerned about provincial tax policies. I said earlier and I repeat: this gives me little encouragement about what will happen in the future.
The government would be much further ahead to take care of its own files. Consider, for example, issues concerning seniors, like poverty and retroactivity on the guaranteed income supplement. We could also consider the forestry sector in Quebec, especially in my region, which really needs help. The federal government has failed to take action on so many other issues.
I would like to know if my colleague shares my opinion, that is, if she thinks the government should stay in its own kitchen and cook its own meals, instead of not just eyeing up, but actually taking over its neighbour's kitchen.
