Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her question.
The hon. member has to understand that Canada's social security system dates back almost 40 years. There have been
many changes in our system. I think this will give the hon. member an opportunity to debate fundamental issues.
One thing is certain however. The hon. member can rest assured that this government on this side of the House is not advocating the lion's bite as stated by the Reform Party to cut $15 billion, taking away student programs, taking away seniors' programs, taking away all the programs Canadians have grown accustomed to.
Early on in the debate it was quite clear that the Reform Party only cares about who is paying. The Bloc Quebecois only cares about who controls. The only people who truly care about the quality of life of Canadians is the Liberal Party.
