In fact, if you want to check the record, I've supported many things that Mr. Thompson and the previous minister, Albina Guarnieri, have done specifically for veterans in their statements and the way they handled the file. As I have said many times, there are certain things in every budget that are quite good, but the reality is that as an opposition member, when you vote in a confidence vote for or against the government, you have to take the entire package as one. You don't have the luxury in opposition of taking this out and saying, I want to want to vote for this but not for these other things.
On November 3rd, 2009. See this statement in context.
