Thank you.
It seems to me we have a difference of opinion, Mr. Williamson, about whether learning to read or write is trimming fat, and about whether there are enough summer jobs in the country, and let's say, outside Alberta you couldn't have moved the money elsewhere--there was certainly a lot of need for summer jobs elsewhere--and whether there was enough money at all, in total, for summer jobs.
It's surprising to me that an organization like yours, which has credibility nationally, comes here and suggests that the Liberal opposition is against trimming the fat. That's a bit like my suggesting that you advocate letting people starve on the streets, and it detracts from your credibility before us today. I suggest you consider that in the future.
Let me ask this of the other groups who are here today.
In relation to the cuts that were announced, has the minister consulted you prior to these cuts being announced? Do you know anybody else she's consulted with? And how did you find out about the cuts?
Why don't we start over here and go around?
