Mr. Rob Moore (Fundy Royal, CPC): Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday the Minister of Revenue referred to a province receiving equalization payments as being "mired in the world of have-not and clamouring for subsidies".
As Minister of Revenue, these remarks were totally inappropriate and degrading.
Canadians in so-called have-not provinces work just as hard as anyone and positive attitudes can be found in any part of Canada. The minister's remarks were insulting and divisive and I call on him to apologize in the House.
