Mr. Speaker, let us be very clear. The Reform Party recommended harmonization. The Reform Party at the finance committee came out full score in favour of harmonization. Why is the hon. member standing up here now and arguing against harmonization? There can be only one reason. It is an abysmal lack of knowledge of Atlantic Canada. It is the fact that he does not understand the ability and the desire of Atlantic Canadians to take control of their own future. That is the problem.
The Reform Party supported harmonization but it is against it for Atlantic Canada. What are its real motives?
