Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member opposite for an excellent speech.
In Ontario, we have to deal with a premier, Mr. Mike Harris, who is using money that should be going to social programs for other purposes. Faced with a province that will not support social programs, I wonder if the solution would not be for the federal government to give more money to charitable and non-profit organizations, which in turn could deliver social programs.
Would the hon. member opposite be comfortable with such a solution?
