Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I had no idea that reading from the Chief Electoral Officer's report would have such an impact on the Conservatives. It is great news that this is happening.
Mr. Chair, first, I want to thank all members around this table for agreeing to provide unanimous consent for us to move directly to the amendment that will finally resolve the issue of the benefit to MP pensions. This is something Canadians have made clear is an issue. It is something everyone around the table has said is an issue. I'm grateful that we finally have the Conservatives agreeing to debate this. My hope is that we'll be hearing some facts and actual debate on the issue. If they are against us removing it, perhaps they could some rationale for Canadians as to why they are.
