Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thought we had agreed that the study on the impact of the renminbi hub would enable us to discuss the oil price drop and its impact on the economy. I thought that was what our friends opposite had implied. They are now putting forward a different list of priorities, whereby terrorist financing sources in Canada come before the impacts of falling oil prices on the Canadian economy.
Yet that impact is so significant that the government has pushed back the budget presentation to be able to come up with the revenues it needs to achieve its objectives. Clearly, unemployment is directly related to this. Many companies are hit hard by the situation. I would think that would be a priority for Canada.
I think our friends have stopped listening to me. I have no illusions about the outcome of today's debate, but I would just like to remind you that we made a commitment to discuss the impact of oil prices on the Canadian economy. We should study Mr. Cannan's motion before we move on to the motion Mr. Saxton put forward today.
Thank you.
