Mr. Speaker, I would like to compliment the hon. member on his speech. There are many things in his speech that I certainly subscribe to and many Reformers do as well.
There are a lot of organizations in this country receiving grants well in excess of what they should be. Perhaps by listening to such a speech there is a lot of room for reconciliation among parties in today's Parliament in trying to curb this kind of thing and spend money in the right places. Perhaps in the next four years we shall see, maybe the House of Commons will be very much together on that issue.
I would like to ask the hon. member how he would define slash and burn of social programs since it was mentioned once if not twice in his speech.
