Madam Speaker, all I did was invite the hon. member to read into the record one more time exactly what he read into the record a few minutes ago.
On the face of it, if members were able to hear it, they would see that it was in direct contradiction to what the Leader of the Opposition told me in answer to a question that I asked him. The member was so unwilling that he quickly disowned his own policy. I could hear the cock crowing three times all the while that I was asking the member to get up and read it into the record.
It is his own policy. Surely he is not ashamed of it. Surely he would have been willing to read it into the record one more time, except it would have become obvious at that point that we get mixed messages from the Canadian Alliance on the question of federal transfer payments.
