Mr. Speaker, once again the Leader of the Opposition, as he has done so many times in the past, is exaggerating the comments.
We had a very useful meeting with the Atlantic premiers. We were able to deal with many of the concerns they raised. If the hon. leader of the opposition were more careful in his research and analysis he would know that when they came out of the meeting they actually said they found the approach we are taking to be quite praiseworthy and one they wanted to support.
I would like to quote Premier McKenna directly: "Several features of the reform will be very positive in terms of making it worth while to work and there are a number of elements of the reform that we find praiseworthy". Mr. McKenna, after having had the opportunity to find out the real direction and approach we want to take, as opposed to all the suppositions, allegations, and paranoia the leader of the opposition puts forward, actually finds this to be something he finds praiseworthy.
