Yes, Mr. Speaker, I take them into account. I know about tax points. I would like to bring to the attention of the hon. member that the day after the budget presentation the Liberal finance minister of New Brunswick applauded the budget. After we reacted to it, a couple of days later the same finance minister said that there would be shortfalls in New Brunswick.
There are shortfalls in the budget for New Brunswick as far as transfers are concerned. There are shortfalls as far as health care is concerned. If we read the fine print in the budget, we see that in five years we will be back at the same place where we were in 1996.
The member may call this a good budget, but unfortunately there are people who are still waiting for a good budget.
