Madam Chair, I can assure you that the communities of Quebec do not feel well looked after. That is not really the case compared to other provinces, and the numbers prove it. I am not even talking about Manitoba and British Columbia. One need only compare Quebec to eastern Canada.
Quebec receives 10 times less funding per capita than Newfoundland and Labrador, which receives $24.55 per capita. Prince Edward Island receives $23.41 per capita, while Nova Scotia receives $19.36 per capita and New Brunswick receives $27.87 per capita.
How does the minister explain that?
