Mr. Speaker, congratulations on your election. If you would permit me, I would like to use this opportunity to briefly thank the people of northwestern Ontario for placing their trust in me once again. It is an incredible privilege and honour to serve in this place.
I would like to note that the Prime Minister was elected on a promise that he was the man with the plan to take on Donald Trump and get our economy back on track, but now we know that there really is not that much of a plan. In fact, the Prime Minister is not even planning to bring forward a budget this spring. I would like to know whether the member for Calgary-Centre has any thoughts about how concerning and irresponsible it is to not be bringing forward a budget this spring.
