Mr. Speaker, I have said time and again that these questions would be answered when I table the budget. This is not really the time to preclude consultation. I want to ask the hon. member, like I did on Friday, if he supports the suggestion made at his first press conference by the economic
thinker for the separatist movement, Mr. Richard Le Hir, to the effect that, to eliminate the deficit, we should shut down VIA Rail and make cuts in old age pensions. That is the suggestion made by the great economic thinker for the separatist movement.
So I ask the member: Does he support that position?
