It's clear, sir, that you don't understand the position that we have on this side of the House. Not to be disparaging towards you, but you're not articulating our position, nor would I expect you to. It's certainly your own partisan opinion and I can understand that because it's hard for you to unravel that, just as it would be for me to understand why you would want to spend $10 billion of Canadians' hard-earned money.
If you want to hand out cheques for $650, that's your prerogative. I don't have an issue with that, but the rush to get this bill through when, as I said, we've clearly established here that there's no dental care crisis....
