Madam Speaker, the member used some words that seemed a little contradictory. In one instance he was admonishing the members to vote the way they believe, yet depending on some other questions, the member is admonishing members to vote along with their constituents. I simply raise this contradiction. If the member really believed that, then he along with at least the other three Reform Party members who are supporting gun control would also represent their constituents and vote for gun control.
The Reform Party took the liberty to produce a pro forma budget to put on the table what its plans would be. As we all know, they were basically to trash social programs and particularly to tax seniors. In the hypothetical situation that the Reform Party did form a government and did have that budget, would the member admit here and now that the Reform Party would have to borrow at least $100 billion before the deficit would be reduced to zero over the term of the mandate?
