But the basic premise of fairness in labour relations trumps all of that. I'm wondering why these things were not taken into consideration between departments before this bill was rushed through. I appreciate that you could not have done it at the time, but I am concerned about the prospect of the inequality of two-tiered policing within the RCMP.
This stands out like a sore thumb. This is not a question to you, but I'm wondering what steps all of us here need to take to make sure this thing is righted.
Mr. Cape, I don't believe for a moment we're going to be looking at this any time soon, once this bill is passed.
Perhaps I'll go to the specific question of eligibility for pensions.
