Madam Speaker, one thing the member opposite talked about was grants and contributions which is an accounting mechanism for our accumulating expenditure and for where it is going to be spent.
The member for Calgary—Nose Hill this morning, the lead Reform speaker on the topic, mentioned that she did not think that the HRDC grants and contributions needed to be touched. It was the others and the increments in the new budget.
Maybe the member would comment. Of the new grants and contributions in the budget, would he cut the $900 million to the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the $900 million for the new research chairs across Canada and the $700 million to ensure that we have clean air, water and prepare for reducing our greenhouse gases? Are those the kinds of initiatives he would cut out of the budget?
