Mr. Speaker, I listened to the member and I appreciate the manner in which he presents his thoughts on the budget. It was very powerful.
I look at it in terms of some of the social programs he makes reference to. In particular, could the member provide some comments in regard to the Canada child benefit program? This will in fact have a very profound impact on all Canadians, either directly or indirectly. It is a major part of the budget. Would the member like to provide his thoughts on that aspect?
