Mr. Speaker, the minister is misleading the House. Quebec was paid for services rendered. This was not compensation.
It is not just over harmonization of the GST that the Government of Quebec is being treated unfairly by the federal government. In fact, the Conservative government is depriving Quebec of $8 billion, including $800 million for post-secondary education and the billions of dollars in equalization payments.
What is the government waiting for to give Quebeckers the money that is theirs?
