Madam Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague. I agree with him that it would be more appropriate to study the Liberals' bill in committee. He mentioned the importance of talking about the $750 million in additional expenditures. My biggest concern is figuring out how we can speed up the process. The Bloc Québécois has already proposed moving the date from June to March. These are things we could discuss in committee. My colleague referred quite often to all the seniors who are falling through the cracks and who are the most vulnerable. I wonder if there are ways to provide seniors with assistance more quickly. I would really like to hear my colleague's thoughts on that.

Mr. Speaker, I am going to take this opportunity to put a question to a colleague for whom I have a great deal of respect. I hope he will provide a better answer than the very disappointing one given earlier by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons. I would like my colleague to explain to me what the motivation is for moving a motion to limit debate on a bill that will come into force in July. I remind members that it is February. We proposed that cuts to the GIS stop in March, but the Liberals refused. They are not in that much of a hurry and will only do so in July. However, the government is in too much of a hurry to let us debate the bill and reveal the Liberals' shortcomings. I would like my colleague to explain that to me.
