Mr. Speaker, I have said countless times in this House that in terms of government by far the best way of hitting targets is through a series of short term targets that keep government's feet to the fire.
That is by far the best kind of spending control that any government can have. It is the reason that we hit our target this year. It is the reason that we are going to hit our target next year and it is the reason that we are going to hit our target the year after.
I will tell members what this government does not want to do, and that is bring in a budget like the Reform Party did based on phoney assumptions and false input which does not attain its objectives.
