Madam Speaker, unsurprisingly, I disagree with my colleague. This budget does not meet any of the Bloc's very specific demands. We asked for assistance for seniors and an increase in health transfers to Quebec. We also asked for a measure to help young families buy their first home, particularly those who are having difficulty saving for a down payment.
More than anything, we wanted the Liberals to stop giving an average of $10 billion a year to oil and gas companies. We wanted them to invest that money in the right place, but that is not what this budget does. This is climate irresponsibility of the highest order. The Bloc Québécois was prepared for the government to propose amendments and make suggestions in response to specific demands for Quebec, but it did not do so. It did not talk to any of the parties. Obviously, it is solely responsible for the current situation.
