Yes, exactly. That seems like an awfully big assumption.
I want to say that I hope the mover of the motion is right. Frankly, I hope the mover of the motion is right that Albertans want to stay in the Canada pension plan, but I don't see how I could vote for a motion that makes such a broad assumption about the opinions of.... How many people live in Alberta these days? Is it four million? I wouldn't presume to profess what four million people might think at any given time, so I think it's a bit of a stretch to ask a standing committee of the Parliament of Canada to make such a blunt observation without empirical data to support it.
For that reason alone, number three is out. I can't see how we could possibly support it.
The motion then goes on to say “who are opposed to Premier Danielle Smith's dangerous plan”. I don't know what her plan is. I know the Liberals have a hidden agenda, but I'm not sure that Ms. Smith has a plan. I guess we'll have to see. I think what she wants to do is consult with Albertans to find out whether or not there's any buy-in for this idea among the people of Alberta. Again, we don't know the answer to that question.
With that, Mr. Chair, I could go on and on, but I think I'll simply move to adjourn.
