Mr. Speaker, leftover money for infrastructure does not make up for the unfairness in the formula.
Saskatchewan is paying millions of dollars to other provinces, despite the crash in the price of oil. If the minister thinks that paving some roads is going to make up for the massive amounts of wealth being transferred, he obviously does not understand how equalization works.
All we are asking is that he provide the same fairness to western provinces. Based on his last answer, clearly he will not.
Can the minister at least explain to the people of Alberta and Saskatchewan why they do not deserve equal treatment?
