Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to compliment the member for Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar and the member for Miramichi for very spirited contributions to our debate.
Before I move adjournment, I simply want to make one observation. The Speech from the Throne speaks of open and non-partisan cooperation, which are touching words.
Yet I cannot forget that, just six weeks ago, the government was singing a different tune when it introduced its fall economic update. Back then, its refrain was provocative and partisan, and it had no plan, nothing at all, to protect society's most vulnerable, to protect jobs, or to create the jobs of tomorrow.
That is why there is a problem of trust with the government. We do not know which discourse, which language, to believe. It has a split personality, if I may say so. We will have to wait until tomorrow to see whether the government has resolved this conflict of personality and whether it can present a budget in which this side of the House has confidence.
In the meantime, I move:
That the debate be now adjourned.
(On motion of Mr. Michael Ignatieff the debate was adjourned)
