Mr. Speaker, I thank my Conservative colleague for his speech, which I missed. I was going to ask him to give me a five-minute summary of his speech this morning, but I nevertheless agree with him on several points.
The government recently secured a majority. It is only fair to question the manoeuvring that led to this outcome. The government prepared an economic update without consulting the opposition parties or considering any requests that might have come from the other parties, which are doing their work thoroughly.
Now we have an economic update that does not include adequate support measures for businesses in the regions, particularly in the manufacturing sector. I would like to hear my colleague's thoughts on how the government handled the economic update. Why is there nothing concrete in it to help businesses in the regions?
