That is a point of debate. As I mentioned before, there is some latitude. The hon. member is talking about an amendment that mentions the carbon tax. I will let the member continue his speech. He has four minutes and 43 seconds. The hon. member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan.

Mr. Speaker, let us go through the numbers yet again. For a family of four in Alberta, it is $1,800; in Manitoba, it is $1,200; in Ontario, it is $1,120; in Saskatchewan, it is $1,504; in New Brunswick, it is $760; in Nova Scotia, it is $824; in PEI, it is $880; and in Newfoundland and Labrador, it is $1,192 a year. To most people, that is a lot of money. To these guys, it is phony.

Madam Speaker, let me give a specific example. Provinces come up with great ideas at times, and often the national government will take a look at them to see how we might expand on them. A good example is our health care system. Saskatchewan came up with a good idea, and ultimately it was spread across Canada. Quebec had an excellent idea in regard to $10-a-day child care. We took that idea and expanded it across the nation. It increases a sense of fairness and equity for all Canadians.
