Mr. Speaker, it is amazing what we are hearing here today.
A prominent politician told me recently that politics-I know the Liberals may not agree with this-is the art of the possible. The member for Labrador told me that. I agree with that statement. Politics is the art of the possible.
The Reform Party has given the House an idea. What we are hearing is the idea being stifled, not legitimate criticism or maybe a suggestion or two to add to the idea, but accusations and fearmongering from the other side of the House. It is unacceptable.
This government has one answer to the problem of poverty and one answer to the problem of people being unemployed. That is massive amounts of government money being thrown at the problem when it is shown clearly that it has not worked.
The government is like a baby. At one end it has a huge appetite and at the other end it has no sense of responsibility.
