Mr. Speaker, there is no diversionary tactic here.
The Canadian public are not being fooled by a smokescreen that they know to be true, which is that the Reform Party would cut $15 billion out of social programs—just like that. The Reform Party says it wants to kill these programs, except when we ask the individual members who know that the transitional jobs fund, the Canada jobs fund, the opportunities fund and other programs make a difference to individuals in their ridings.
