Mr. Speaker, the math the hon. member is doing is rather flawed. I think that I spoke about the increases in equalization.
The one thing I did not also refer to is the fact that this Conservative government has committed and continues to be committed to increasing health transfers to the provinces at 6% and social transfers to all the provinces at 3%. We have chosen not to allow the brunt of this recession to be borne by the provinces. We on this side of the House do treat all provinces equally.
