Mr. Speaker, certainly there were a number of questions there.
I guess the first one is that the socialist utopia that we often hear mentioned by the other parties is just not reality any more. Therefore what we have done is attempted in our budget to empower senior citizens, students and our native people so that they can start taking care of themselves more and more.
Our program of an RPSP goes a long way in that area of taking care of people. What we have to do is target those people who need it most. That is the most important aspect.
We should mention as well that these cuts must be fair across the board. Most farmers in the west, as was mentioned by the member, are prepared to say: "Get government out of my face. Let me handle my own business. I am quite prepared to do that". He mentioned those cuts; we have been advocating them for years. They are nothing new. They are asking just to get government out of their lives.
Basically we want to put money in the hands of people. There will not be people lying on the streets who cannot take care of themselves; they will be taken care of. That is the whole nature of the program.
The member is welcome to review the document and discuss it at length with me or any member of our party. We would be glad to do that.
