Mr. Speaker, why would he think, as the Reformers would think, that Canadians would believe it when the Reform Party says it could reduce the debt and the deficit all in one fell swoop in a three-year program and at the same time maintain jobs and growth? This is what it is saying to us, that the 400,000 jobs that were created this last year would continue to be in effect at the same time as we would take some $40 billion from the economy.
I would like the hon. member to explain to us the Reform's rationale if he could and why the Liberal Party does not seem to accept that. Not even 10 per cent of Canadians accept that, as we could tell in the last election campaign.
