Mr. Speaker, I am our party's social policy critic. The last speaker chose to parrot the misrepresentation put forward yesterday that the Reform Party was not supportive of the national child benefit and other programs and voted against them.
I have two question for the member. When did we vote against programs that we agree with? That never happened. He also said something about the Reform Party cutting social assistance programs. What happened to the cuts his government made to the health and social transfer which supports welfare programs in the provinces?
How can he accuse other parties of doing something which they have not done and defend the cuts that his government has made to social assistance?
