Mr. Garth Hirner (Halton-Peel):
Mr. Speaker, in many of the town hall meetings and other public meetings I have had in my riding my constituents consistently over the last couple of years have been asking me: "Can the government please take an initial step to end universality of social programs?"

Mr. Horner:
With regard to a comparison of conversion to the metric system as between Canada and the United States, in some instances we are ahead and in some instances we are equal. But in every instance in moving toward modernization of our industry, I would rather lead than follow, because if you follow you are naturally behind.
