Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my honourable Liberal colleague, who is also the minister responsible for financial institutions and who had a tear in his eye just now for the poor and the sick, which of these is the right answer: by the end of its mandate, the Liberal government will have cut either $42 billion from social programs, or $42 billion from social programs, or $42 billion from social programs? Which of these three is the right answer?
In the House of Commons on September 30th, 1997. See this statement in context.
