Mr. Chair, I wish to let Mr. Menzies know that I do not see how this committee, which Mr. Kevin Page must indeed report to, is in any way whatsoever taking anything away from anyone by expressing its concern over imminent budget cutbacks and stating that it wishes to see the budget restored to promised levels. I do not wish to ascribe unworthy motives to my colleague from the Conservative Party. However, I have a hard time understanding his interest in voting against something so straightforward. It is the expression of this committee's wishes.
I intend to vote in favour of the motion. I do not have the same feelings as those expressed by my other Liberal colleague. I only hope that Liberal solidarity will last for at least the next three minutes. That is why I will conclude my remarks now, before they have an opportunity to concoct a third position.
