Mr. Speaker, we are being faced with our constituents who are trying to find out what there is in the future for them, what they can be planning for.
With the concern of health cuts and what not, the situation is that the provincial governments are having to reduce services because they are unable to go to the people with user fees and whatever to provide the same level of services. The concern is that the government promised that those services would be maintained yet in this budget the government is reducing its equalization or transfer payments to the provinces for those issues.
Constituents hear the government telling them one thing and see the government doing something completely different. There is concern and very much uncertainty out there.
