Mr. Speaker, I know my colleague knows that I come from an area that has really been impacted by the economic slowdown. We have had significant job loss in Oshawa.
He talked about the wonderful investments that the government wants to make. However, I have noticed in the House lately that some in the opposition parties have been dithering. Some would say that they are obstructionist by playing politics, political ideology. They do not want to get this budget through.
Could my colleague tell what the importance is of getting this money out quickly and what he thinks about the opposition dithering or slowing down this process? Right now my community needs this money. Could he comment on that issue?
