Moron, or maybe we should delete oxy, I am not sure.
We know for a fact that the Reform Party's policies would hurt children in this country. The Reform Party has consistently voted against measures announced and taken by this government that benefit children. And Reform Party members chirp on.
Normally what we see on opposition day from the Reform Party are motions to cut this or cut that, to spend this or spend that. I do not know how Reform Party members would pay for the tax cuts they talk about when in fact their tax position would benefit a family earning $215,000 in exactly the same way that it would affect a family earning $15,000.
The Reform Party's tax policies would benefit the rich. Reform members know it. It is flat line. Of course that is fitting with their flat earth mentality.
We understand that they do not understand a progressive tax policy that benefits people who need it. Child care, day care, child tax credits; they vote against all of them; they talk against all of them. For them to all of a sudden arrive in this place and try to tell us and Canadians that they indeed are kinder, gentler, more caring and softer does not add up.
Members opposite have proposed in the past that 50% of what they refer to as a surplus should be used to reduce debt. Another 50% should be used to reduce taxes. A third 50% should be used toward health care. Another 50% should be used to cut defence spending, to cut the heritage ministry, things that they get on as their hobby horses. Now they are trying to perpetrate what amounts to a fraud that they somehow care about children.
And here we go with a point of order.
