Mr. Speaker, I want to begin by commending the excellent work of my colleague from Richmond—Arthabaska, who is also one of my neighbours.
I can say that his list of fun things to do in the beautiful region of central Quebec and Victoriaville could have been much longer if he had been given more time. There are so many great things to do in central Quebec that my colleague would have had to filibuster to cover everything that is going on and all the beautiful things in our region.
I would like to hear my colleague's thoughts on the fact that, despite the throne speech and the plan it outlined, the government did not really identify any concrete measures in that speech. There will be no budget this spring.
Is that the right way to run a country? Does my colleague think the government should table a budget this spring?
