Mr. Speaker, the hon. member doth protest too much.
The fact of the matter is that in the last two months we have had two major rounds of consultations with the provinces, unprecedented during that period of time. Agreements were reached in a number of areas of joint collaboration, particularly to go forward and look at ways in which we can reduce waste and duplication, where we can begin to examine a variety of initiatives we can take together. Just a week ago my deputy minister travelled throughout all provinces to discuss with them the nature of the agenda.
The hon. member says this is bulldozing. I say it is the most active process of consultation and co-operation that has been seen because we want to make this an open process.
Let us be fair about one thing. The hon. member opposite and his colleagues have no interest in this process of reform. They have no interest in co-operation. All they want to do is destroy this process because they want to destroy the country along with it.
