Madam Speaker, I will keep it brief.
If I understood correctly, our friends in the Bloc Quebecois are going to vote in favour of the Reform Party's motion. I do not know if opposites attract or what, but I have a question for the member.
If, in fact, the Bloc Quebecois agrees on a 50/50 share of the anticipated surplus, I would remind the member that there will be no surplus available before the end of the next term of office in four years' time, barring an earlier election.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to say that I listened enviously to the remarks by the Reform Party member on the list of government expenses. I will of course get myself a copy of the document he mentioned.
I am in the same boat as the Reform member. We are a bit frustrated at having a bunch of expenses like that and being unable to do anything about it.
I would like to ask the member his position on the several hundreds of thousands of dollars his leader spent on Stornoway.
