Mr. Speaker, I remember going to the Reform convention as an observer. I heard them talk about tax cuts that amounted to $104 billion over five years when the federal Department of Finance was projecting a surplus of about $100 billion over five years. Reform wanted to spend the entire surplus on tax cuts.
If one is doing that, we are not even going to keep up to the increase in inflation in terms of health care and education. We can see what kind of priority health care is for the Reform Party of Canada. The other thing about the Reform Party of Canada is that it supports Ralph Klein in a two tier American style health care vision for our country. The Reform Party of Canada stands for that.
Canadians want a single tier national health care system as supported and enunciated in the Canada Health Act. Our party and the Canadian people stand for that. We want to fund the national medicare program. We want to bring back federal funding. Canadians stand for that and the Reform Party stands on the opposite side of that. It wants two tier American style medicare. That is not what Canadians want.
