Mr. Speaker, I listened to the member's remarks and I have a very short question for him.
During the election campaign, seven months and a few days ago, the Liberals told Canadians and Quebecers that they would not touch social programs. Could he explain why, after seven months and a few days, they have decided to cut those programs when they probably could have cut elsewhere and not harm the most vulnerable members of our society? I would like to know what he has to say about that.
