Madam Speaker, the priority of this government is job creation and economic growth and that is what economic action plan 2012 delivers.
We are proud that we have set aside more time for the debate on this bill than any other budget implementation bill in the last two decades, probably longer, but that is as far back as we went in our research. It is certainly a contrast with the party that the hon. member was part of when it was in government. The Liberals passed one budget implementation bill and sent it to committee, limiting debate to three hours.
We are happy to have this bill debated for the longest time in this House because for once we want to hear members from that side talk about the economy. That is our priority.
