Mr. Speaker, the hon. member has been comparing the federal budget to the Manitoba budget and for some reason overlooks the Reform Party's budgets.
The Reform Party budget makes certain suggestions for cuts, for example, cuts to seniors' benefits, 15 per cent; unemployment insurance, 22 per cent; aboriginal peoples, 24 per cent; post-secondary education, 9 per cent; health, 11 per cent; the Canada assistance plan, 34 per cent; equalization, 35 per cent; other transfers that are not caught in that web by another 6 per cent; total cash transfers over and above all of that by another cut of 24 per cent to provinces; other social spending that is not caught by this, another 15 per cent; a total cut on average of 20 per cent in social spending.
Is the hon. in favour of these types of cuts in light of the speech he has made?
