A former member said \u201cWe will abolish the GST\u201d. Premier Lucien Bouchard should go to the National Assembly, instead of visiting other countries, and say to Quebeckers \u201cWe will immediately abolish the GST\u201d. The Party Quebecois members could vote on that. They can do it. They have a majority.</p>\n<p>The figures I mentioned today are real figures. I can tell you that when Quebec's needs or situation require it, the federal government is always there to give its financial support to our people, the people of Quebec, the people of Abitibi.</p>",
