Mr. Speaker, I would like the hon. member to address another problem with Bill C-38.
It is no secret that one of the very serious problems with this bill is all the economic consequences associated with it. They are almost incalculable, but we are going to identify them nonetheless. The government has, in fact, determined what direct cuts would be made to the public service. The Parliamentary Budget Officer managed to identify broader consequences and, above all, has said, since the start of the cuts, that it was going very far. Can the hon. member expand on those consequences?
