Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Finance. I received a fax today from a concerned constituent. During the election process, I said I would represent everyone fairly. I want to make sure that this individual realizes that I am representing everyone fairly, not just by ethnic background. To the Finance Minister, there is a lot of concern, as you have heard around the table, about the equity of the proposed reductions. I have a concern here of an individual receiving a four per cent reduction compared to a co-worker receiving over a 15 per cent reduction. Is the shift of the government changing from providing a benefit for the family to providing it for the individual? Thank you.
