Madam Speaker, I am inspired by my colleague from Mirabel, who talked about how proud he was to see his six-month-old son sit up today. Family is so important to both of us. Personally, I am very proud of my three-year-old daughter, who is full of energy. I am trying to help her grasp ideas in children's literature. That brings me to my question.
Earlier, a Conservative member made an interesting slip of the tongue. She talked about creating one government out of 13. That is indeed the government's vision. When people talk about one single economy, not 13, that means they really want to centralize things. When I look at everything the government wants to do, it reminds me of The Tortoise and the Hare. It is sometimes better to take more time to hold consultations than to move too quickly. That is what we learned from The Tortoise and the Hare.
In financial matters, let us not take our cues from Harry Potter books. We do not need a magical budget or a Harry Potter budget. We need a rigorous framework, which might include tabling a budget statement that would give us an overview of the state of public finances.
I have asked two questions in one, so I would invite my colleague to answer one, the other or both.
