I don't think anyone is playing politics on either side. It shouldn't be about politics. This is about Canadians. This is about Canadian businesses. This is about Canadian workers. Our intent on this side is to make sure that we have a deal in place solidly done so that we have the accountability, credibility and stability that we know people expect from the government.
The only difference I see between the Conservative and the Liberal motions right now is basically the date: One is March 12, and the other one is February 25. If there is a way, we can have longer meetings to convince my Conservative colleagues that we can live with the motion presented by Rachel. The intent is the same; as Mr. Hoback said, it is only the timeline. If we can meet the end of February deadline and have longer meetings and work longer hours, if they would be able to support that, I would really appreciate that.
We worked in the last Parliament. There was no difference, whether it was the NDP, the Conservatives or us. We worked together as team Canada, whether here or outside, and that's the way I would like to see us work on this particular matter, because this concerns every Canadian and we want to get it done.
