Mr. Speaker, my question is also for the Minister of Finance.
The budget presented by the minister yesterday will add $100 billion to the federal debt over the next three years. Many members on this side of the House are deeply concerned that the budget simply does not address the deficit and debt problem.
If this House, through its committees or the consideration of estimates, were to put forward further proposals for further reducing the deficit in 1994-95, would the minister be open to adopting such proposals?
