Suppose Mr. Speaker, instead of trying to knock everyone flat with his empty figures, will the Minister of Finance acknowledge that in the end the effect of his budget yesterday is $33 billion in cumulative cuts to social and health programs and that the amounts announced represent only a fraction, a small fraction, of the cuts established in his 1995 budget?
Can we infer that "The Minister of Finance wants to lower spending on social programs in the plans he announced recently."? Yes, no, or maybe?
