That's not a fair comparison. As Mr. Jean would say, that's what they're paying.
If we look across the board, if you were to make that comparison in Chatham, Ontario, my riding, you wouldn't find that. I'm not begrudging the public service. As has been said here a number of times, our public service is excellent, and we have excellent people. The fact of the matter is, it's the responsibility of government to keep the lights on. At what point is it our responsibility to make sure that we have parity and that we have some equality there?
