Mr. Speaker, the quote was not quite accurate. There was no promise or suggestion of a mini budget.
For the hon. member's knowledge I reiterated the budget promise made last February that an economic statement would be made this fall, as we promised, at the beginning of our consultation process with the people of Canada leading to the February 1995 budget.
If the hon. member had read the budget in February 1994 he would know that is not very much news. That is exactly what was said.
