Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister stunned Canadians yesterday when he said that he does not see the link between the social union and the federal budget. Canadians do see the link.

Why is the Prime Minister the only Canadian who cannot see that his unilateral budget cuts are tearing apart our social union?
