Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Alliance and I do not take a back seat to the NDP when it comes to agriculture. The member can look at the emergency debates we have put forward and the work we have done in committee on agriculture. The member is from Saskatchewan and he and his party have done virtually nothing with regard to the agriculture crisis.
The NDP policies are obviously to spend oneself rich. I would like to ask the member some questions with regard to that. Instead of creating wealth, would the NDP policy be to greatly increase taxes so the member could do all the things that he talked about? If that is not the case, does he intend to reallocate resources within the existing $173 billion which the federal government takes in? Where would he reallocate those moneys? He cannot have it both ways. He either increases taxes or he reallocates. I want to find out where he would reallocate.
The NDP policies are evidenced mostly by the provincial NDPs that have actually been in government. What does the member think about the Saskatchewan NDP government turning down a prairie alliance for the future and not providing the money to start the railway?
