Mr. Speaker, I would like to start by congratulating the member on what I believe is his first speech in the House. I would like to welcome him to the House. I am going to try to be very quick because I know the member for Broadview—Greenwood would also like to ask a question.
We on this side of the House heard the message of the last election. We won a majority government, something that has not happened that often in this country. The people endorsed our programs.
I would like the member, who has been thoughtful on these issues for some time, to step aside from the rhetoric that he has brought into this House from his research department and sit down and itemize for me on the record the cuts that he would make in order to do it differently.
