Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for part of his answer. My supplementary question is for the same minister.
The minister's budget bears some resemblance to the first Clinton budget in the United States which also included a new spending package combined with a cost-cutting package. When the Clinton budget got to Congress it scrapped the new spending proposals and applied the savings to the deficit to the benefit of the American economy.
Would the minister be willing to scrap or at least defer for a year or two his new spending proposals of $1.7 billion so as to get greater cost and deficit reduction in 1994-95?
