Mr. Speaker, we made it very clear in the budget that, in 1996-97, transfers to provinces would be frozen to the 1993-94 level. This was also confirmed by the Minister of Human Resources Development in his document.
We said that a review of the UI program was in order and that it would be the second stage of the reforms undertaken. Again, this was confirmed by the Minister of Human Resources Development. Make no mistake about it: We will definitely have to cut in all government spending.
The Minister of Human Resources Development is holding consultations right across the country and the finance committee will conduct the same exercise. I do hope that members opposite will make suggestions. Indeed, instead of just yelling they should make useful suggestions.
