Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the hon. member from Calgary.
We are all allowed to make mistakes. Reformers brought forward their budget for one or two years. I believe it has been here for a few years. I wonder out loud why they are no longer bringing forth a budget document or, if they have one, why they are hiding it. It was a great idea to have this shadow budget until the world collapsed on them.
In their budget the Reformers would slash and burn and sacrifice the future of Canadians. They would sacrifice health care of Canadians. It is not fair for them to turn their backs on our seniors, our youth and our unemployed just for the sake of tax cuts to make some certain area of the country more wealthy.
We on this side of the House believe in our country and in its citizens. Reformers almost made a mockery of my saying that we invest in our country and in our people.
I ask the hon. member the same question I asked another member. He is a person who represents a very urban area. The budget offers many possibilities of funding programs for people in remote areas of the country and in rural Canada. When I stand in the House I am speaking for all people in the country. I want to represent all people in the country. What about the $50 million designated for rural Canada which the Reform Party health critic says is an excellent program? Does the hon. member believe in it?
