Honestly, Mr. Chair, I wonder why the Conservative Party and the Bloc Québécois want to redirect government resources instead of letting public servants work on things like the old age security pension arrears that seniors are waiting for. That's my question.
I'm going to respond to Mrs. Falk, who said that the Liberals are the ones filibustering. We are not filibustering. We just want to leave public servants be so they can work through the old age security files that are currently on hold, because that's very important. These people are not just in Quebec. There may be seniors in her riding who are affected. I don't know what province her riding is in. There may be some in Mr. Seeback's, Mr. Reynolds' or Ms. Larouche's ridings. When I visited seniors' residences, hardly anyone mentioned having this issue. However, that doesn't mean that it's not happening in Quebec. There are some 9,222 cases pending in Quebec.
Ms. Larouche, in the future, I would ask you to be careful with dilatory motions so as not to use committee and government resources for things that don't matter.
Mr. Chair, that's all I wanted to say. I don't want to speak just for the sake of speaking, as some of my colleagues do. I'll yield the floor to someone else.
