Mr. Speaker, the question I would like to pose is this: Why did the member for Mississauga West not address the very motion that was put forward today, the reallocation of moneys within the existing budget of the government? That is what we are debating here: the reallocation.
In addition to having him comment on where he would find the money to reallocate, I would give him a suggestion which was put forward by the Liberal member for Winnipeg South, that the western economic diversification program be chopped, clobbered, finished, kaput. The reason the member suggested this is that it is not meeting its objectives. It is not creating jobs. It is not doing anything it was set out to do. Is that not an area that could be reallocated to higher priority spending?
