Mr. Speaker, the hon. member talked about costing things out. In the prebudget submission by the Conservative Party it did everything except cost out what the measures cost.
Let me help the hon. member. He referred to a whole bunch of tax initiatives. What did they cost? They cost the treasury $17 billion. If the government were to adopt what that party would like, we would be back in deficit. I am sure it would be way above the $42 billion where it left us.
