Mr. Speaker, the institute's report indeed says that the measures in the finance minister's budget are all totally inadequate and totally ineffective for reducing the deficit.
I ask the Minister of Finance if, instead of taking a wait-and-see attitude to the disastrous situation of the Canadian government's finances, he does not agree that he must urgently eliminate duplication and inefficiency and immediately eliminate outrageous tax evasions such as family trusts. It is not social programs that should be attacked in the cowardly way you are attacking them.
