Mr. Speaker, as Bloc members prepare to vote against the interests of Quebec and Canada, here are five good reasons to reconsider their position and to support our Conservative budget.
First, we have said yes to an independent body to manage the employment insurance fund.
We have $90 million for the targeted initiative for older workers.
For the manufacturing sector, there is $1 billion in additional relief for the purchase of machinery and $440 million for innovation.
For our pork and beef producers, there is $50 million in assistance and $3.3 million in advance payments.
And finally, for public transit, there is $500 million and the carbon exchange gets $66 million.
Why is the Bloc against this budget? As they themselves said, they cannot allow themselves to vote a third time for the Conservative budget because people will wonder what they are doing in Ottawa.
Never mind, that is already the case.
