I would just like to clarify one thing. Two bills have been put forward, Mr. Chairman. One proposed a complete overhaul of the program and a second was tabled when Bill C-278 was voted down by the House. Both the Bloc's bill and Bill C-269 proposed a complete overhaul of the program.
We have always worked with the figures that I have here. The new figures that we have been given, Mr. Chairman, show that our original figures were wrong. That's what worries me.
I'm not trying to cause problems, but if we truly want to do a serious job here, regardless of the differences of opinion that we may have, each political party must base its work on figures that have been supplied.
Mr. Lake wondered the same thing about the figures quoted this morning.
