Madam Speaker, I listened with interest to what the member said. I can tell her that half of what she was saying is not right.
It is quite interesting. She said that she is not going to support the motion on the increase that is coming from one side to the other side which requires urgent attention, which is health care. In the same breath she wanted the Reform Party to ask that more money be put into CHST.
Where does the hon. member think the money is going to come from? Will it be by raising more taxes, taxing the poor, taxing the mothers who are staying home? Where does she expect all this money to come from? She knows very well that it is the mismanaged HRDC program where she sees all this money going down the tube. Why will this money not be more effectively used to address the health care issue? Why would she advocate raising taxes and putting more burden on Canadians when we could use other funds? Perhaps she could clarify that situation.
