Mr. Speaker, what I said is that the Minister responsible for Public Service Renewal intends to review all federal programs and that review is already under way. So we are certainly looking at our own spending.
I would like to quote a document of which I am very fond, the budget: "It is essential that social security reform leads to programs that are more affordable and work better for Canadians. For the federal government, transfers must be no higher after reform than they are now. We want this reform process to be a co-operative one. We are providing a two-year period of predictability and modest growth in social security transfers to provinces while reform goes on. As promised by the Prime Minister, we will build towards a five-year period of stability in transfers."
That is what I said in the budget, that is what I said yesterday, that is what I discussed with all provincial finance ministers: co-operation. They agreed on it in January.
