Mr. Speaker, one of the things that we wanted to do when we set up the consultation process was to encourage as many Canadians as possible to participate in the formulation of the budget and to make their comments on the budget.
I would like to take this opportunity, now that we are getting very close to the ultimate thing, to thank all of those who participated, certainly members of my own caucus.
There were some very live debates within our caucus. All points of views were expressed. I would like to thank those on the outside, whether it be the senator for policy alternatives, whether it be a number of major organizations.
I would like to thank the Reform Party for its effort this morning. I think that it has tried to elevate the debate. I look forward to the opportunity of debating the details of the Reform proposition as soon as I am able to discover it.
