Mr. Speaker, as it is the first time I am rising in this House with you in the chair, I want to congratulate you on your position.
The member opposite gave a lot to unpack, but the thing that stuck out the most to me was how he mentioned it would be unfair to Canadians who were relying on that payment, because they budgeted for it. This tells me the member opposite understands the importance of budgets and sees that they are timely and that they matter.
I am just wondering, why is the member opposite content with his government not tabling a spring budget? How come he is not asking for and demanding it, if he believes budgets are so important?
