Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the hon. member for Alfred-Pellan.
For the past few years, he has been the deputy finance critic for the Bloc Québécois. He is also our revenue critic. Therefore, he knows first-hand that the Quebec government—and even the National Assembly as a whole—regularly adopts motions, including as regards this issue. It is very obvious that, in Quebec, there is a will to harmonize the GST.
However, there are also other issues—and that is why I referred to my colleague's responsibilities within the Bloc Québécois—concerning which the federal government, whether Liberal or Conservative, is simply thumbing its nose at Quebec by refusing to give our province what is owed to it. It is our tax money that is in Ottawa's coffers, but it is always extremely complicated to get our due, particularly when it comes to the equalization program. There is still some money that has yet to be paid for the ice storm.
I wonder if my colleague could tell us about other instances where the Conservative government, and even the previous Liberal government, did not respect the rights of Quebec.
