Mr. Speaker, we have had this debate in the House before. I must say the Leader of the Opposition is just tossing off figures at random. No decision has been made concerning transfer payments for the years after the first year in which cuts will be made. It is quite clear that we are going to negotiate with the provinces and subsequently reach a decision.
Now I would like to ask the Leader of the Opposition the following question: Is he saying this is the way he wants these cuts? That is certainly not how we see it.
