Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, the Liberal member claims that it is about efficiency and the delivery of service. Where is the efficiency in continually pumping tens of millions of dollars into a useless gun registry that does nothing to solve crime and which Canadians across the country have rejected as a means to deal with any sort of crime and then looking at other ways to save money?

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to Make Certain Payments  They hiked CPP right after they cut taxes.

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to Make Certain Payments  Madam Speaker, I wish to thank my colleague from the NDP for his question. It is most unfortunate. The hon. member is quite confused about many issues. I would like to point out to him, and I believe I am correct on this, that it was an NDP MLA in Saskatchewan who was convicted of a crime a few years ago.

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to Make Certain Payments  Madam Speaker, I welcome the opportunity to address this do over budget, the whoops we made a mistake in the first one budget so we will try again, the back of a napkin, Buzz Hargrove, NDP deal in a hotel room. I want to outline the difference in philosophy between the socialist corruption alliance and the Conservative Party philosophy.

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to Make Certain Payments  Madam Speaker, we in Saskatchewan have seen what happens to economies when the socialist NDP has its policies enacted. Businesses have been driven out of the province. A generation of young people have left and made their homes in other provinces where there are more economic opportunities and it is easier to find a job and raise a family.

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to Make Certain Payments  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for an excellent summation of the vicious circle that is represented by the Liberal government. An excessively high tax burden creates social problems, which are then addressed by big Liberal programs, which always have cost overruns and never actually get to where they are needed.

Supply  Madam Speaker, I hear a little bit of contradiction going on. First, we heard members from the parties on the other side of the House say that they have not heard any criticism of their plan from any group or concerned Canadians. There are thousands of parents and dozens of groups that are adamantly opposed to this one size fits all approach.

Supply  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The hon. member said that he had never heard of anyone ever denouncing the child care program. I have here an article in today's Calgary Sun quoting extensively from the Kids First Parent Association doing that very thing. I would seek unanimous consent to table this article.

Supply  Mr. Speaker, I do not doubt the sincerity of the member's intention to honestly try to help families, particularly working families with children who have to juggle various things in their lives. The trouble I have is the idea of a national day care program is widely denounced by many groups and the vast majority of parents because it is a one size fits all program.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, we have heard some statements today describing the furor that erupted from the Liberal side of the committee when Commissioner Reid outlined his findings. It so angered them when he brought these loopholes to light. He showed the witnesses and members of the committee what the Liberals were trying to sneak through.

Budget Implementation Act, 2005  Mr. Speaker, I thought I might help the hon. member out and remind her that it was not only the Conservative Party that warned about deficit spending, something that we are very concerned about with this new deal. The Minister of Finance warned the House that deficit spending was a very real possibility when we got into, as he described it, cherry-picking or taking things away from one part or adding new spending to another part.

Rural Post Offices  Mr. Speaker, contrary to Liberal Party policy, rural Saskatchewan is an important part of Canada. Due to geographic difficulties, the rural people of Saskatchewan rely heavily on their small town post offices, yet the Liberals are trying to destroy this important part of our communities.

Supply  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The hon. member intimated that the Conservative Party was not in favour of Canada's supply management sector. Our party has been very clear on that. I would like the hon. member to check Hansard on that.

Supply  Mr. Speaker, I have more of a comment than a question, and that is the hilarity I see in the member from a socialist party waxing eloquent about saving jobs just days after attempting to cancel job saving tax relief in the finance committee and just days after threatening Canadian jobs.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I have the honour today to present two petitions from literally hundreds of my constituents who have taken the time and effort to make sure they have contacted me to stand up for the traditional definition of marriage as defined by one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others.
