Mr. Speaker, I think the hon. member is taking this entirely out of proportion.
What I want to tell him in respect to DFO and the budget for which I am responsible, we are in fact reducing in four years $450 million, largely at the behest of the opposition to reduce budgets, and 2,700 person years as well. It is difficult to do that without rearranging priorities. However, the priorities will be and will continue to be. That is the way it is now, that is the way it should be and that is the way it is going to be.
I want to ask the hon. member: What does he have against Canadian unity?
