Mr. Speaker, I can only repeat that in a very short period of time we have to reduce the size of the military in order to meet our deficit reduction plan.
Does the Reform Party not want us to meet our deficit reduction plan? Does it not want us to get spending down? That is what we are trying to do.
We cannot move that many people that quickly without some incentive program to help them and that is exactly what we are doing. The costs of the program will be met and we will still
meet our deficit reduction program of getting to 3 per cent of GDP in three years.
