Mr. Speaker, the government is very desirous of bringing the budget before the House. It is very desirous of seeking the support of the opposition for a budget that has absolutely responded to the needs of Canadians.
I would like to say that it is very unfortunate that the Leader of the Opposition, having initially supported the budget, then reneged on his word.
I must say I am delighted that we have been able to work together with the NDP to basically deal with the issues that face Canadians.
