Madam Speaker, I do not think that my colleague heard the rather unanimous comments from Quebec. I gave the point of view of community organizations, citizens and economic organizations. Everyone really is unanimous. Over the weekend, elected officials at the municipal and other levels of government told me that this measure is completely ridiculous. It excludes basic necessities and includes products that are not essential. It is temporary, when what people really need is long-term strategic assistance.
They do not need a band-aid solution. They need a government that has political vision and that is going into the next election to serve the public's interests, rather than its own.
