Luc Berthold Conservative
“I want to know the government's plans for House business tomorrow and for when we return after the break week. I also hope the upcoming budget saves Canadians money and includes our ideas.”
“Mr. Speaker, I know this is an eagerly awaited moment for the people watching us on CPAC. I realize that it is a little less so for our colleagues who were invited to leave the chamber before I asked the Thursday question, but that is okay because what I am about to say is still very important. We have one more day to go tomorrow. Moments from now, we will hear about a budget that I hope will save Canadians money. We sent the government our proposals this week, and I hope those ideas will be reflected in the budget. One very important thing is that we will be going home to our families next week to take some time for ourselves and to talk to people in our ridings. I think that matters a lot. Most importantly, there will be a lot of ceremonies to honour veterans. Remembrance Day is coming up on November 11. I think that each one of my colleagues will have the opportunity to pay tribute to our veterans and to all those who have served our country. Since next week is a break week, can the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons tell us what is on the agenda for tomorrow? Will he also be attending Remembrance Day ceremonies next week? What will be on the agenda when we return?”
