I can only say to hon. members opposite that in spite of their laughter, the setback is going to be with them. If we go to most of the ridings around Ontario-and the hon. member for Simcoe Centre knows this very well, and it is Ontario they are now concerned about because of this election, which is why I am referring to those particular seats-we have to add up the Reform vote and the Tory vote in the last election and see what it comes to. Had the two been together-and of course we know they are becoming bedfellows over there-they might have won a few more seats than the one they got in Ontario in 1993.
The success in the Ontario election can be attributed to the fact that the Reform Party failed to field any candidates in the provincial election. We know why they did not. As a national party they are going to have a tough time the next time living this down.
