Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Verchères—Les-Patriotes for his excellent speech. As a political scientist, he is obviously very up on these issues.
I would like him to clarify for us what else these supplies, which we are refusing to approve, could be spent on. They will very likely be approved because of this government's overwhelming majority in the House.
For the benefit of those listening today, I would like our colleague to give some concrete examples of how this $54 million budget, which will probably be approved for what I might call purely gerontocratic purposes, could be put to better use.
Could he also give other examples of funds being used to provide relatively long term care and perhaps examples of areas where the money would be put to much better use?
