Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to make a statement, because I know the fix is already in between the Conservatives and the Liberals to support this motion from Mr. Wallace. I want it on the record that both leaders of both political parties, historically, in my city, in the city of Windsor, where this bill has its greatest number of victims, stood publicly during elections and said they would fix this and they would find justice for the people who have been victimized by this policy by the federal government.
Now, for the second time, we have a political party reversing itself on that and gutting this bill, in spite of the commitments we had from the Prime Minister in my city during the last election.
So I want to be on the record very clearly—and I had this as a private member's bill at one time as well—that the NDP continues to support the bill, supports the change in policy that will bring some justice to retirees who have suffered so grievously under this policy.
