Mr. Speaker, my question is unexpectedly for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
Yesterday the minister promised that he would make available technical papers containing estimates of the costs and savings of the reform alternatives he has set out in the green book. These estimates are demanded by everyone taking the reform proposals seriously. They are absolutely essential for the upcoming budget consultations by the House finance committee.
Will the minister assure Canadians that these technical papers will contain estimates of costs and savings and give us a precise date for their publication?
