Mr. Speaker, now I have seen it all in this House.

The Liberals have the gall to pass judgment on the way the provinces are managed. If the member wants to pass judgment on a province's administration, he should run for election in that particular province. I have always respected other levels of government. If I were him, I would be ashamed of what he just did.

Is he not ashamed of what his government has been doing since 1993-94, when it cut health, social and education transfer payments to the provinces by $38.7 billion? This has meant a shortfall of $30.5 billion for all the provinces since 1993. It is $11.1 billion in Quebec and $10.5 billion in Ontario.

I think the member would be well advised to clean up his own backyard before he tries to clean others.
