Mr. Speaker, I am not sure why the hon. member is begging for a budget from the Reform Party since he obviously has not read the first one.
The taxpayers' budget we placed before the Liberals for their consideration would have cut health, post-secondary education and welfare by $3.5 billion and in three years that would have put us in a surplus position.
What have the Liberals done? Have they cut $3.5 billion from health, post-secondary education and welfare? Yes, they have cut $3.5 billion from those areas. In fact they have cut $6.3 billion from those areas and we are still not in a surplus position.
I urge the hon. member to look at the budget we put forward. With far less draconian measures we would at least get some results, which is more than we can say for the government.
