Mr. Speaker, of course the Reform Party believes that we need to do whatever we can to help citizens across the country. That is why we believe very strongly in a program to start to improve the infrastructure in Atlantic Canada so that we can renew some of the traditional trade ties that Atlantic Canada had when it came into Confederation which at that point made it the strongest part of the country. In fact back when there were a strong set of trade ties with New England when most of Atlantic Canada came into Confederation, it was by far the wealthiest part of the country. It did extraordinarily well.
We need to go back to that and renew infrastructure to make it happen. In some cases it means providing some training for people. In other cases it may mean that we will have to lower taxes. We need to do the sorts of things to make Atlantic Canada competitive in a modern day environment and in an environment of globalization.
I do not think we can continue to rely on the solutions of the past. I hope that the member will come around to that way of thinking.
