Mr. Speaker, I would like to build on the last sentence of the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance, that we are here not to just talk about fiscal discipline but we are also here to talk about creating an environment for growth that will put people back to work.
As I review the taxpayers' budget put forward by the Reform Party today I felt that specifics related to job creation and putting people back to work were pretty thin.
I would like to get reassurance from the parliamentary secretary that we as a government have not wavered from our
commitment and our focus on putting Canadians back to work. Ultimately I believe that the two million plus people who do not have work are a heck of a lot more concerned about our commitment to that reality.
This whole debate on deficit and fiscal discipline which has pretty much crowded that part of the debate out also needs some discussion. I wonder if I could get some reassurance from the parliamentary secretary.
