A member of the Reform Party is asking about British Columbia. I would like to know his recommendations on how to manage a provincial economy when the population is increasing over a 10 year period by 85,000 or 90,000 people a year and no additional revenues are committed to infrastructure or to health programs. He would not know about that because he probably cannot count to 85,000 or 90,000. If he did, he would realize that when the population grows by a million over a 10 year period there have to be additional programs, supports and initiatives by government in infrastructure or transportation.
In the House of Commons on November 30th, 1998. See this statement in context.
