Mr. Speaker, in reality what is happening in this country, and this budget has done nothing to alleviate it, is that many tiers of service are being created. The idea of Canada, the idea of Confederation, the idea of sharing, the idea that the rich can help the poorer provinces is simply no longer a part of this government's priorities. There is an Ontario dominated caucus with Ontario dominated priorities. All I can say is that we are going to have a two tier health care system in Newfoundland. We have a two tier system of job creation. We have a two tier system of highways in Newfoundland. All I can see with this government's philosophy is a continuation in the deterioration of the fairness that used to be a fundamental part of Canada.
