Mr. Speaker, my distinguished colleague across the way who just gave us this very excellent discourse is an accountant by profession. Obviously he knows how to count things well and proper.
I wonder how he can reconcile for me the Bloc Quebecois policy whereby on the one hand it is saying today that we must reduce the number of specialists in agriculture and hire-as the member for Quebec-Est said this morning-more farmers to be in the agriculture department. A couple of hours later it was saying hire more scientists in agriculture, which is the opposite of the previous argument.
I wonder if he can also tell us what he thinks as an accountant of a party that asks us to decrease overall budgetary expenditures and at the same time today is telling us that we are not spending enough.
Can he reconcile that kind of accounting for us, because I am having some difficulty. Perhaps the professional judgment of my colleague across can help us understand this Bloc Quebecois modern math.
