Mr. Speaker, he is the most comical of the token Quebeckers. He drove around in a truck during the election campaign, with this result.
Getting back to the GST, Paul Martin said in 1996:
...the federal government does not owe Quebec any money for harmonizing its sales tax with the GST. Provinces are eligible for payments when they lose more than 5% of their revenues by harmonizing.
Ontario did not lose anything and its revenues will even rise. Despite that, it is going to be compensated. Why will it be compensated when, as Jean Charest says, Quebec has harmonized its sales tax?
