Mr. Speaker, the NDP are outraged with the Liberals on the one hand and prop them up on the other.
Bill C-48 is now before the finance committee. The Conservative Party has asked that the ministers responsible for foreign aid, housing, infrastructure, post-secondary education and the environment appear before the committee to explain how the money would be spent. Seven ministers in all and they all refused to come. We asked for officials to come and they also all refused.
Is this not just an admission that Bill C-48, the NDP budget deal, is so poorly designed that the government cannot even defend it?
