Mr. Chair, my thanks to our friends who have come before us. On two occasions, they have tried to appear before us. I just want to thank them for giving us the time.
I will also have to take a stand against this measure and vote against it, like my Conservative colleagues. Unfortunately, during the consultation process and the appearance of witnesses, I was not convinced that this was the right course of action and that all service fees had to be indexed to inflation in perpetuity.
A little earlier, you mentioned that, in your lifetime—but not in mine—the inflation rate was at 20%. So it's not outside the realm of possibility that it will happen again.
