The essence of this country is those communities that are stronger, that are richer-I come from a city which is strong and rich but right now it is in economic difficulty. It is the city of Toronto. I know that my community, my city is having a very difficult time-believe that we must make sure that communities that are more disadvantaged are looked after properly and effectively by the national government.
I believe that ACOA and the western diversification fund are doing a very good job. For those reasons we will not support the Reform Party's amendments.
