Mr. Speaker, I have a couple of quick questions for the hon. member.
Yesterday Stats Canada came out with a report that said personal incomes grew last year at one of the fastest paces of this decade. We applaud that. But it still was not enough to keep up with the even faster rate at which governments are pulling money out of Canadian pockets.
I would like her to respond to what Stats Canada has said. Also, in 1993 when we came to this parliament it was announced that we had to do something. There were 1 million children living in poverty. Now we have 1.5 million. These miracle workers over there have not solved that problem. Will this be the budget of budgets that will take care of those difficulties? I would like her response.
