Hon. Joyce Fairbairn (Leader of the Government): Honourable senators, as I have said so many times in this house, I find it quite offensive to hear the word " bribe" used in the context of an agreement that was reached with three provinces. The leaders of those provinces, in their wisdom, entered into this agreement, which will benefit those provinces in the future.
L'honorable Joyce Fairbairn (leader du gouvernement): Honorables sénateurs, je l'ai déjà dit souvent, je trouve choquant d'entendre le mot «pot-de-vin» utilisé pour parler d'une entente que trois premiers ministres, dans leur sagesse, ont jugé dans l'intérêt de leurs provinces.
