Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very interesting speech.
The budget is an important step. There has been a lot of talk about all the things that are missing from the budget, including investments in health care, transfers to the provinces in different areas, and investments to address the housing crisis. These points have been raised with good reason. However, one thing that has not yet been discussed in relation to the budget is justice. This is of particular concern to me, since I am the justice critic in Parliament. I see major problems. I saw nothing in the budget about justice.
Will funds be allocated to appoint judges? Will there be transfers to the provinces, prevention programs, and help for victims? There are all kinds of justice-related issues that are not addressed in this budget, and that worries me.
I would like my colleague to speak to this.
