Mr. Speaker, the government's social policy paper is devoid of detailed information concerning the cost of the proposed reforms or the projected savings. It is that vacuum that is generating the speculation about what is meant.
It seems that the government either does not know the cost and savings figures, or if it does know it is hiding them from Canadians.
Is the Minister of Human Resources Development ignorant of the detailed cost and savings consequences of his paper or is he withholding them?
