Mr. Speaker, I have been listening to the debate since this morning. Clearly, the Liberals are having a hard time understanding. They are the ones who wrote these election cheques. There seems to be some confusion; they do not seem to understand the process. During debate, after the member for Beloeil—Chambly asked a question, it was clear that even the Liberal leader does not understand the system.
This taxation is upstream, that is, it happens on the front end. People receive money even though they have not paid the tax yet. When the government gives money to people even though they have not paid the tax yet, it does not take an economics expert to understand that this money comes from everyone's taxes, from the public budget. Quebeckers have collectively paid for this election gift, but we are excluded from receiving a cheque because we have our own system.
What does my colleague from La Pointe-de-l'Île have to say about that?
