And of the amendment of Mr. McCallum (Markham—Unionville), seconded by Mr. Proulx (Hull—Aylmer), — That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word “That” and substituting the following:
“this House condemn the government for a budget that does so little with so much, failing to look beyond the next election to the next generation and failing to tackle Canada’s 21st century social, economic and environmental challenges by ignoring the difficult circumstances of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged citizens; by paying only lip-service to Aboriginal peoples; by providing no broad-based income tax relief for ordinary middle-income Canadians, and particularly by not reversing the personal income tax increases imposed in last year’s budget; by not pursuing greater Canadian economic competitiveness and innovation; by offering no direct support to post-secondary undergraduate students and only a pitiful amount for early learning and child care; by ignoring the imperatives of a clean and sustainable environment, including the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change, advancing no significant new measures to deal with greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental priorities in a coherent manner; and by resorting to misleading presentations of budget figures, including gross exaggerations of increased federal transfers to provinces and other orders of government”;
And of the subamendment of Ms. Wasylycia-Leis (Winnipeg North), seconded by Ms. Chow (Trinity—Spadina), — That the motion be amended by adding after the words “orders of government” the following:
“, and this House further condemn this government for increasing the prosperity gap between very wealthy and ordinary working families by continuing the previous government's obsession with corporate tax reductions and failing to address the increasing costs that working families face every day”.

The debate continued.

At 5:15 p.m., pursuant to Standing Order 84(4), the Speaker interrupted the proceedings.

The question was put on the subamendment and it was negatived on the following division:
