Madam Speaker, the hon. member raises a number of issues. Let me underline that the confusion about what the Liberals said is apparent in his own party. I have quoted things which several Liberal members have said in the last couple of months. These are people who campaigned door to door under the impression that the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and the finance minister meant what they said and intended to do what they said. Obviously they feel they have been let down.
The hon. member raised a good question. What would the Reform Party do? The Reform Party would wipe out the deficit and eliminate the GST in stages, unlike the government which is leaving a $17 billion deficit out there. The only thing that can happen when we have a deficit that large is that the government would move toward eliminating all kinds of services to seniors. It is talking about making more cuts to social programs, which it said during the election campaign it would never touch.
We see more broken promises. Quite frankly, we are seeing hypocrisy from that side equalled only by the government before it.
