Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague from Mégantic—L'Érable—Lotbinière, with whom I had the privilege of sharing a riding when I was its MNA and he was its MP.
As others have said, Quebec is lucky to have a strong entrepreneurial spirit. Quebec is home to some top-notch entrepreneurs. All these entrepreneurs prepare budgets. They use budgets to find out what their revenues are, what their expenses are, what investments will be made and what they must plan for in the short, medium and long terms, on a three-year and a five-year basis. That is what an entrepreneur does.
Here, we have a Government of Canada that does not have a budget. We apologize to Canadians. We will do everything we can to get the government to present a budget as quickly as possible.
