Mr. Speaker, the member said that his family was Liberal. After that he was a Conservative. Now he is a Reformer. Maybe he will see the light one day and become an NDP.
I went around the country and I went around the States too. I saw line-ups in the States where people were waiting six months. Those who were waiting for six months were not the rich. They were not those who had money and who could pay $10,000 for an operation. Those with all that money were not waiting six months. The poor people were waiting in the line-ups for six months because they could not afford American health care.
My colleague in the Reform Party is suggesting that we should cut taxes, that Canadians cannot pay the taxes. Reformers want us to give the poor a health care program that will be paid for from their pockets and they cannot afford to pay it. What does my colleague answer to that?
