Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Joliette for his speech. His passion for securities is remarkable. That was very interesting.
I would like to raise a more long-term issue.
Although there are some good things in this budget, there is a lot missing. I will get into that later during my speech.
I think this budget is short-sighted. We are emerging from a pandemic, but I do not see any long-term planning in this budget for the next health or economic crisis. There will be more viruses. There will be more pandemics.
Did the government learn anything from COVID‑19 about our social safety net or our health care system? Will it make the same mistakes next time? A more aggressive, deadlier virus could strike and make our lives even more difficult.
Does my colleague from Joliette think the government is making that transition?
