I have to say that I find it incredible that the Reform Party stands in the House almost daily under the guise of question period and demands of this government far deeper cuts, cuts in the range of billions of dollars. Nothing is sacred, not senior citizen pensions, not medicare, not welfare, but in the next breath the same party can stand and demand that all groups and all individuals, all the thousands of applications for intervener status, ought to be met with a yes from the government.
There is not a bottomless pit of money. We are going to act responsibly. We are going to see that those who have the greatest need are served in providing intervener funding. The member should get his priorities straight.
