Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons says that if the budget does not pass, it will be the opposition parties' fault. The Minister of Finance and National Revenue is accusing us of playing politics. However, our demands have been a matter of public record for a long time. It was their Prime Minister who chose to ignore all of them in his pre-budget speech last night.
This is a minority government. It should act like one. It should make deals if it wants its budget to pass.
Why is it so hard to just address the needs of Quebeckers?
