Mr. Speaker, I will be brief, because the facts are clear. The budget before us, on which we will soon have to vote in this House, will transfer huge sums of money to the Government of Quebec. I am very disappointed that the Bloc Québécois is voting against this budget. The Bloc Québécois was elected a long time ago to sit in this House, and its goal was to correct the fiscal imbalance. It took a Conservative government to correct that imbalance, despite the fact that the Bloc Québécois has been in Ottawa for 13 years.
In the House of Commons on February 24th, 2009. See this statement in context.
