Mr. Speaker, I have a lot of respect for my colleague from Berthier—Maskinongé and he knows it. However, it comes as a bit of a surprise that the Bloc Québécois is opposing a measure that will help people in the member's own riding.
We just tabled the first motion in the House to cut taxes for 22 million Canadians. That can add up to as much as $840 for a two-income family. This measure is important for the people of Berthier—Maskinongé.
The people of Berthier—Maskinongé expect their member of Parliament to stand up for their interests and vote for the motion put forward by this new government.
