Mr. Speaker, unfortunately the hon. member is attempting to cast a very important initiative which has been very broadly and strongly endorsed by the Canadian people to help reform social policy in a light that only reflects his own particular pessimistic view of things.
The government is very much committed to continuing with social reform. We now have the committee report which has a number of recommendations in it. We are looking at that report very carefully. We will be responding to it within the time required by the House in terms of a specific policy and we are going forward with our plans to bring in legislation this fall.
Social policy is well on track, unlike the policies and positions of the hon. member.
