Mr. Chair, Ms. Barron was allowed a fair bit of leeway. I respected that leeway, and I think it's appropriate that I should be able to respond to the absurd points that she made.
She made the assertion that Conservatives somehow secretly want this pensions clause to be maintained in the bill, but there is the fact that we moved a motion of non-confidence in this government that would have had the effect of dissolving Parliament and going to an immediate election. The motion incorporated the very words of her leader. Her leader demonstrated, once again, that he's a total sellout, that his words mean absolutely nothing and that he has no principles. We know why, and that is because he wants his $2.3-million pension.
