Mr. Speaker, there appears to be a contradiction in the remarks of the hon. member for Medicine Hat in his support for the motion.
The member repeatedly said the debt should have priority. He said that over and over again. Yet when we look at the motion it does not discuss debt at all. It discusses only tax cuts.
I cannot understand why the member for Medicine Hat would want to support the motion when his own leader has said that debt reduction has priority, yet this motion gives priority to tax cuts. Is he not in a contradiction here?
