Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Reform Party is engaging in a certain amount of revisionist history.
What took place in the House was members of the Reform Party consistently crying wolf and saying, within about two weeks after the budget, that we were going to miss our targets this year, that we should have a mini-budget in March, that we should have a mini-budget in April, May, June, July.
