Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Minister of Finance, I would like to thank the committee and its chairman, the member for Willowdale, for the excellent work done this fall on reviewing the budget.
All members of the committee worked very hard hearing the representations from Canadians. All three parties made an effort to put forward their own ideas. On behalf of the minister, I would like to also thank the other two parties for putting forward their ideas.
The Minister of Finance has made it quite clear that during this process we will not be commenting on any specific proposals from any sources. We will just simply continue our consultation process until the budget is announced in February.
