Madam Speaker, my Bloc Québécois colleague is right about seniors. There is nothing in this budget for them. It is extremely disappointing. She is absolutely right.
As for the softwood lumber issue, people do not want government assistance or a handout. They want to make a decent living from their jobs. Business owners want to make a profit from their sales. The problem is that they can no longer sell to the United States, and they are losing their market in Europe. Why? It is because the government has failed to get a deal, and tariffs have actually tripled in six months. That is how our regions are becoming poorer because of this government.
