Mr. Speaker, I reply to my colleague that obviously we must pursue efforts in all areas.
However, we note on the part of the Conservatives a glaring failure to act. In my opinion, the best way to pursue objectives is to begin immediately. What we are being presented with is really a wait-and-see approach. This is a situation in which we will never be able to make the decision required.
Whatever reduction we achieve with the proposals currently on the table will still be a step in the right direction as far as the future is concerned.
