Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to the comments of the hon. member, who gave a good presentation on the Minister of Finance's budget, and who clearly showed that there is a world of difference between the Liberals in opposition and the Liberals in office. I am reminded in particular of Expro, a company in my riding which needs technical and financial support for its conversion. When the Liberals formed the opposition, they were adamant that conversion was the way to go, and they urged Mr. Mulroney to set up a conversion program.
The hon. member made an in-depth review of the Martin budget, and I would appreciate his comments on the discrepancy between the budget and what the Liberals said they would do when they sat in opposition.
