Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With respect to the original motion, this is an important motion, and it's good that this is brought forward. The statements from the Parliamentary Budget Officer were very revealing and really need to be discussed in the House. The amendments that have been brought forth by the Liberals are part of a continual trend of not wanting to address the serious issues and to push things under the rug. They're filibustering rather than voting for a good motion that we should be able to move forward with very quickly. Bringing forth these ongoing amendments without just looking at the original motion....
One thing with the original motion that is solid is that it's right to the point and is something that all parties will be able to speak to carefully and address. It's unfortunate that the Liberals keep bringing forth these amendments in order to shut down the opportunity to move forward with this good motion.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
