Mr. Speaker, that is the Conservative way. They do not negotiate with the provinces, they take away $2 billion and then they say that the provinces must match contributions dollar for dollar for the program to work.
I want to talk about another economic model that works but that the Conservatives want to fix. Credit unions have played an instrumental and crucial role in the development of Quebec's thriving business world and in the regional economic development of Quebec.
Despite this economic success, the Conservatives decided to go after credit unions by increasing their taxes, without even having the decency to give them advance warning.
Why do the Conservatives have it in for credit unions?
