Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has presented the Prime Minister as being a finance whiz, someone with considerable expertise in the world of finance, in the world of business and in government. He should be in a position to be well aware that the finance department stands ready to produce a budget on short notice.
I respectfully request again that the government inform Canadians of where the spending and the cuts will come from, to allow us to make informed choices on behalf of our constituents and, more than that, to allow us to represent our constituents properly. We need to be able to consult with them, and to do that, we need to have information. I would really like to know why the government is keeping my constituents in the dark.
