Madam Speaker, I listened carefully to what my colleague said, and I understand one thing. I get the impression that the more proposals and measures we come up with to deal with a situation like inflation and the problems associated with growing vulnerability, the more the government puts its head in the sand.
There are parties in the House that have a lot of proposals, and there is not much time left for the government to decide what it will put in its next budget.
We are hearing a proposal regarding 3%. There is another proposal to use 1% of the government's budget to address the lack of housing renovations and new construction since 1995.
Does my colleague agree that it is important that the government listen to and consider every proposal?
I would also like my colleague to explain why the government almost always votes against such proposals.
