Madam Speaker, in terms of unemployment insurance, the Reform Party believes that we should build that program into an insurance program so that it pays its way. Those who pay in get the benefits thereof. That is number one.
Second, in terms of some of the changes that have been made to deal with the $6.6 billion deficit that is currently in the unemployment insurance program, those changes would be supported. We think those who are most in need will still be able to receive benefits.
With regard to transfers to provinces in the area of education and health care, that was one of the areas I was to cover in my remarks here today, but I was not able to set out that list of priorities.
The Reform Party has said very clearly that the transfers given to the provinces for health care and education in the budget of 1992-93 would be maintained and that we would not reduce the transfers any lower than that fiscal year. If the current proposal of the government indicates that the transfer payments would be reduced below that, we would have cause for concern.
