Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The budget is, first and foremost, a speech; it does not contain direct measures. It's really the budget implementation bill that we have to study carefully. It's always a mammoth bill and, as a general rule, the government tries to sneak things through.
I think the spirit of what was said in the subcommittee was that we give ourselves enough time to study this fully and not leave anything out, especially given that the time slots have been limited since the current special committees were created. At the same time, we always agreed that we would extend the study on inflation.
I see that time is running out.
I agree with Mr. Fast's point that it would be interesting to see what is not only in the budget, but also in the budget implementation bill, so that we can better assess how much time we need to study everything.
Perhaps I will take a cue from what Mr. Blaikie did and make a suggestion. Perhaps at this point, in order for us to move to a vote, we could simply withdraw this proposal in the subcommittee report and adopt it that way, bearing in mind that we will have to find the time needed to analyze the budget implementation bill. If it is agreeable to everyone, we could just remove that part of the subcommittee report and approve the report.
