Mr. Speaker, that was an intelligent intervention and of course it had to come from this side of the House.
Sometimes in this business we have to eat our own words. I would love to see the finance minister do that. Last week when the Prime Minister was out of the country, he was talking about how supportive he was when the prime minister of the day, Brian Mulroney, brought in the GST and why he had to do it. What goes on in the minds of some politicians one never knows, but I think the hon. member is absolutely right. This is a man who controls the nation's finances, he and the Prime Minister. It is not too often that we will get a premier going on the attack, especially when he is waiting for some of those health care dollars that were taken away from his province.
