Mr. Speaker, yes, this is exactly what we have done. We have reinvested $1.5 billion into the program that gives transfers to the provinces for health, post-secondary education and social programs because we have done better than predicted. That is why we have invested in innovation. That is why we have a program to help the children in poverty. The statement the hon. member made is the statement we have been making since the election.
In the House of Commons on December 10th, 1997. See this statement in context.
