There is no vote on this. That is right. This is a non-votable motion, but at any rate, the member says he is against this very good, common sense motion before us today and is designed to give guidance to the government for when it brings in its budget next week.
How can he reconcile the fact that everything he said is in our motion? We basically are reflecting the report of the finance committee, “Securing Our Future”. We are just urging the government to do what Canadians across the country have told us to do. It is reflected in the report.
The Canadian Alliance this time did not table a dissenting report to the finance committee report. We did a supplemental report that states we agree with a lot of what they are doing. We would just like them to go a little further in some areas and maybe in a slightly different direction. I would like the member's response to that.
