Mr. Speaker, you may have been aware that there were three people who wanted to participate. I thought I was the only one who had the floor at this time and that is why I raised those issues.
There is some inconsistency. We have to really give a fair assessment of what this budget does. The budget does address the commitments made in the red book. I do not think it is fair for the hon. member for Mercier to somehow tell the Canadian people that it does not.
