Mr. Speaker, if the Liberals really wanted to debate the budget, there would be more than only less than half of them here today.
If Canadians want to see how interested the Liberals are in debating the budget, all they have to do is look at the legislative calendar for last month and this month to see the priority the budget debate has had. It is behind the border services debate, the debate on statistics, the debate on patents and the debate on the quarantine bill.
The Liberals do not want to talk about the budget. They do not want to vote on the budget. Let us have a confidence vote on Monday.
