Okay. I'm happy to wait.
I just want to sum up where we are for everyone watching.
We have a budget put in front of Canadians for $490 billion. The Conservatives on this side of the table are asking for the Minister of Finance to show up for two hours. We have an amendment put forward by the NDP for two hours.
However, given the Minister of Finance's pattern of disrespect for this committee, the three times she has refused to come to this committee and the fact that we have zero recourse and zero consequences toward the minister if she decides for a fourth time not to come here, we have put a subamendment in place that amends it so that progress on the bill will continue after her appearance.
There can be no reason for Liberals not to support this, other than the fact that they don't believe the Minister of Finance will show up to do her job. We are asking her to come for two hours to talk to the Canadian people for $490 billion. That is $8 billion a minute.
She had two hours this weekend to talk to Liberal insiders. She had two hours for Liberal donors.
