I am sorry, Mr. Speaker. I am too emotional from his presentation. I feel so strongly that this issue is a key issue that we need to address.
I believe the country is tired of hearing excuses about how we have such an onerous task and it is so difficult. This is the government opposite. As a government it cannot keep criticizing Reformers for what they propose unless it can come up with a better proposition. That has to happen. When someone is drowning and is going down for the third time he or she would like to see a life preserver thrown to him or her, not another weight. Increased spending and increased debt and deficit is simply another weight. I think it is inexcusable that this kind of rhetoric continues to be spouted out by these people.
I would like to know what plan the government has? What does it propose in a positive manner that will give hope for Canadians that they will begin to see the light and not continue to be thrown more weights as this member suggests?
