Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague on the comments that he has made. I encourage him to continue in that direction.
There are a couple of issues I think we should explore a little further. There have been accusations made by other members of the House. They suggested that what we really want to put together is a potpourri of the social service programs so that each province has its own special little program which is different from any other, so there will be no continuity of programs and everything will really be chaos and there will be no standards.
One of the references in the new Canada Act says very clearly the establishment of national standards with regard to social programs and things of this type. It seems to me that we need to be very careful how we do this. There seems to be a borrowing of ideas by the Liberal Party in particular. It seems that the Liberals forget completely to study the concept and to understand what we are really trying to do.
I am wondering if my hon. colleague could help the Liberals understand what we are really trying to do so that they are not taking things on the surface and forgetting totally what this is really all about.
