Mr. Chair, we could review the “blues”. The Minister and senior officials told us, as did Mr. Taillon today, that what they want to achieve is fairness. When they talked about principles, they mentioned fairness. So then, as far as this motion to amend is concerned, if there already is fairness, then the outcome will be same.
We maintain that there is no fairness. The motion aims to restore fairness. It does not increase premiums, it merely distributes them differently. Mr. Komarnicki has stated on two or three occasions that it doesn't bother him a great deal, if at all, if there is no fairness.
This is one of the flaws that we have identified in the bill, and the best way to correct that flaw is by adopting a proven formula like this which will give results. It will ensure an equitable situation.
Mr. Komarnicki is arguing that even if the situation in inequitable, he wants the status quo. That goes against the spirit of the bill.
