I understand that.
Mr. Chair, I want to put on the record that I think if we're going to enhance and extend sickness benefits, it should be done for all Canadians and not just certain groups of Canadians.
If that's the case, then one of my problems with this bill is that it's using a particular mechanism that is not going to equally and consistently ensure that Canadians across the country can take advantage of those benefits. In other words, the mechanism itself is flawed, and I think that's another reason why we don't support this particular legislation.
