Mr. Speaker, it is impossible for a responsible government and a responsible party to promise that there will be no changes to economic and social programs, or in other areas.
In order to have a modern economy, you have to make changes. During the election campaign, the Liberal Party never said that it would not make changes to the social programs, the unemployment insurance system or elsewhere. It never campaigned on that.
In the red book, there are several indications that the government was going to make changes. I can assure the hon. member that, if he reads the Liberal Party's holy book, he will see that the changes that are happening now had been planned during the election campaign.
