Mr. Speaker, the government presented a budget that was thicker than the phone book for most Canadian cities and then expected to apply one vote to that whole budget. It would take me a whole day to list what I would not support in that budget.
No NDP member has ever stood in the House and said that we are against the Conservative government implementing food safety for our citizens.
It is truly disingenuous to keep making these wild accusations instead of dealing with the biggest food recall. There are people who are sick. It impacts our cattle farmers and ranchers. It also affects families. My grandchildren love beef; they are carnivores. I can tell you, they are scared. They are still at school, but they are scared when they hear the news reports.
Let us try to address that instead of talking about a budget bill that was the size of a phone book and had more holes in it than I could list today.
