Mr. Speaker, the fact is that Reform would put more money into health care. We would fix the programs that the government has destroyed, the $7.2 billion in cuts to transfers. Reformers believe by the way that real compassion is not putting money into welfare; it is getting more people off welfare.
The CGA says the 20 per cent reduction in UI taxes would create 68,000 jobs by the year 2001. As a matter of fact, the Reform plan calls for a 28 per cent cut in UI premiums. Imagine how many more jobs that would create. Today the Liberals on the finance committee are saying that UI taxes cannot be lowered. Will the finance minister ignore the recommendation of the finance committee and lower payroll taxes to create the jobs that Canadians so desperately want?
