Hon. Brian Tobin (Minister of Fishe
ries and Oceans): I have to say that I find it incredible that the Reform Party stands in the House almost daily under the guise of question period
and demands of this government far deeper cuts, cuts in the range of billions of dollars. Nothing is sacred, not senior citizen pensions, not medicare, not welfare, but in the next breath the same party can stand and demand that all groups and all individuals, all the thousands of applications for intervener status, ought to be met with a yes from the gov
...[+++]ernment.
L'hon. Brian Tobin (ministre des Pêches et des Océans): Je dois dire que je trouve cette demande incroyable, surtout venant du Parti réformiste, qui, presque tous les jours à la Chambre, au cours de la période des questions, exige du gouvernement des compressions budgétaires toujours plus importantes, des réductions de l'ordre de milliards de dollars.
