Mr. Speaker, I have kept my word and gone to the battlefront in Hamilton East and, lo and behold, my opponents are not there.
A few weeks ago the finance minister, in the cosy comfort of this House, challenged me to meet him on the doorsteps of Hamilton East to talk about his broken GST promise. Where is he? Is the finance minister afraid to go door to door with me and defend his broken promise?
I was on the doorsteps in Hamilton East last night, ready to go toe to toe with Sheila Copps but I did not see her, or any minister. Is she afraid? I will be there today and I will be there again tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing them soon because, after all, there are only four days left until the vote.
Is the justice minister afraid to defend the inept Young Offenders Act that I spoke about with young people last night? Is the Prime Minister afraid to defend his broken promises on the GST, immigration, child care, free trade and MP pensions?
Once again I challenge the timid souls on the front benches here. Come with me this afternoon at 4 p.m., Canadian flight-
