The NDP drafted this legislation with the Liberals. Only after it got tabled and only after they got caught and the blowback was so severe did they finally say that they wanted to make some changes and that some parts of the bill were problematic. It's problematic for them because they got caught.
I want to narrow this down here. As Conservatives, we oppose this bill every step of the way for exactly the reasons we outlined. We're not here for our pensions. We're here for an election now, earlier and sooner rather than later, and we oppose this self-serving move that the Liberals and NDP voted for at second reading. That's why we're here.
I want to use your numbers to clarify and to make sure Canadians are clear on this. With the Liberals and NDP coming together with this bill and with both of them voting for it to get it here to committee in its current form, based on the numbers you have said, would I be correct that, if the election date were moved back a week, this would be at least $42 million in a pension guarantee if Liberal and NDP MPs were defeated? Would that be accurate?
