Mr. Speaker, what my colleague forgets is that this is going to a number of committees, and there will be debate at those committees, so it is not being limited.
The member went on about the municipalities and the money. I would remind him of what the Federation of Canadian Municipalities said about budget 2013:
Today's budget delivers significant gains for Canada's cities and communities. We applaud the government for choosing to continue moving our communities forward even as it meets its immediate fiscal challenges.... By maintaining and extending unprecedented investments in our cities' infrastructure, it will spur growth and job creation....
I do not know why the other side would not get behind this budget and get it passed in a hurry.
