Mr. Speaker, I have responded to this question on numerous occasions by simply saying that the government will make its position known in the budget. We are in the consultation process. We are waiting for constructive suggestions from Canadians and from the two opposition parties.
We are waiting for the Reform Party to complete its suggestions for areas in which we should make cuts. For instance, the person in the Reform Party who was concerned with social policy-that is an oxymoron-the member for Calgary North, said she would cut some $16 billion or $17 billion out of social policy spending.
We are waiting for the Reform Party to give us its constructive suggestions. We will make our position known in the budget.
