Mr. Speaker, over the past six weeks our Prime Minister, our ministers and MPs have participated in prebudget consultations right across the country. It has been the most comprehensive and inclusive prebudget consultation process in Canadian history. The Prime Minister himself has held round tables right across the country. He and government ministers have made over 84 separate visits to cities across the country. We have heard the concerns of Canadians. We have heard the concerns of our communities and of those individuals who are leading communities when it comes to infrastructure. Members will have to wait until tomorrow so they can hear the rest of the budget.
