Mr. Speaker, they talk about redistribution, but fail to say that there are several provinces that do not receive equalization payments. Albert and Saskatchewan do not receive any money through this redistribution, while Quebec does. As a Quebecker, I am very pleased to live in a federation where there is a willingness to help one another. I am grateful to the people of Alberta and Saskatchewan who give us this.
It is very easy to say that Quebec is the province that receives the least money per capita of all the provinces that receive equalization payments, but there are some provinces that do not receive any and give money instead.
