Madam Speaker, I listened carefully to what my colleague said, and I understand one thing. I get the impression that the more proposals and measures we come up with to deal with a situation like inflation and the problems associated with growing vulnerability, the more the government puts its head in the sand. There are parties in the House that have a lot of proposals, and there is not much time left for the government to decide what it will put in its next budget. We are hearing a proposal regarding 3%. There is another proposal to use 1% of the government's budget to address the lack of housing renovations and new construction since 1995. Does my colleague agree that it is important that the government listen to and consider every proposal? I would also like my colleague to explain why the government almost always votes against such proposals.

Mr. Speaker, we have been debating for a few hours already, and we always come back to the same thing. We understand very well that banks are being asked to contribute and that the 3% surtax is necessary for a redistribution of wealth. Earlier, I was asking my NDP colleague whether he would vote in favour of any Bloc Québécois measures to address the problems we have experienced and are now experiencing. What I understand from my colleague's comments is that when the Bloc Québécois makes proposals that are directly related to the collective well-being, the NPD will support them.
