Mr. Speaker, congratulations to you on your role.
I want to pose a question regarding a budget. The new Prime Minister was elected with the promise that he would be the man with the plan to take on the United States and get our economy back on track, but a key part of that plan is bringing forward a budget. We now know that this will not happen this spring, if at all this year, and I am wondering if the member can explain why the government would make the irresponsible decision not to bring forward a budget this spring.
