Mr. Speaker, we cannot emphasize enough, and I have said this in answering questions in question period, the most important fact that Canadians need to remember is that we treat Quebec just like we treat every other province in Canada, just like we treat Prince Edward Island or British Columbia, the home of that hon. member. It is important to us to ensure that transfer payments continue to increase, as they have, to ensure that even though the Bloc will be in perpetual opposition in this House those constituents it represents share equally in the benefits that this country has. That is our role as a federal government, to protect Canadians, to provide them opportunities so they can prosper, to provide them with EI benefits should their jobs disappear. That is what we are doing in these difficult economic times. It is not easy. We are facing challenges, and Canadians understand that.
They have looked at this economic action plan, which is the best plan. In fact, it is the only plan. Nobody else in this House, as a party, came forward with a plan that was as broad and as substantive as this government has put forward and implemented. We see the money flowing. Every time we walk into a home renovation store, we see Canadians spending money. They will not see those dollars until they ask for a tax credit next spring, but the dollars are flowing. The money is flowing. Canadians are beginning to see recovery.
