Mr. Speaker, the secretary of state talked quite a bit about the millennium fund.
The fact is that this is only going to put about $300 million in to replace the money lost to the provinces which were the recipients of a $7 billion cut a year. So it is a small drop in the bucket.
She said specifically she has a lot of students in her riding, and to quote her words “who need to be able to go to school tomorrow”. How does she think that she can stand and talk positively about a Liberal budget that puts in a small portion of what was taken away in transfer payments? It is not going to help people until the year 2000 so it can build a monument for the Prime Minister.
