The deserving poor, as the hon. member for Halifax says. If that is what the hon. member is saying, let him and his colleagues stand up and say it. Let them tell the House where the cuts are going to come because he knows all the government programs alone make up a very small percentage of the total federal budget. If the government was eliminated tomorrow there would still be a deficit on the books of the
Government of Canada. He knows that to administer all the other programs there is a cost.
I ask him to come clean with Canadians and tell us which programs he is going to cut. Is it medicare? Is it old age pensions? Is it the Canada pension plan or what? It has to be one of those and he knows it.
