Madam Speaker, I listened with interest to the hon. member's speech. Maybe he has not had a chance to read the newspapers today. In Ontario there has been a 78 per cent acceptance of the budget as it was presented. The lowest percentage of support in Canada was in Quebec and that was at 55 per cent. All the other provinces fell in between those two figures. What we have presented to Canadian taxpayers is a fair but lean budget, which is exactly what they called for. That is what my constituents called for.
I would like to challenge the hon. member because I have had a chance to read the budget which his party presented. What I read was something similar to the doctor saying to the family outside of the operating room that the operation was a success but unfortunately the patient died. The Reform party is talking about cutting $15 billion from social security. I would like to know from the hon. member where he would cut that $15 billion from something that is the fabric of this nation.
