Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will abide by the motion and the five minutes. I thank you for that.
I want to start by saying that the short title is reflective of what's in the bill. Jobs, growth, long-term prosperity—all of those things cover what is in the bill, things that are necessary for Canadians to actually succeed, necessary for Canadians to continue to live in the best country in the world. We are not ashamed of that. We celebrate that, and we'll continue to do so.
When we look at how much time we've spent studying this bill in committee—aside from the private reflection, the phone calls, the private deliberations we've had in talking to stakeholders, etc.—we're talking about a study that went on for some 60-plus hours. This was the longest amount of time dedicated to a budget bill in over 20 years.
I believe we've done well in putting this forward.
I want to thank my colleagues across the way for coming and deliberating on it, and for sticking to the time limit that was set out in the motion agreed upon by the committee. I do acknowledge that, and I want to thank them for that.
I also want to thank the chair for his patience, his incredible patience.
