Mr. Speaker, my supplementary question concerns the $200,000 survey which was originally supposed to be $150,000. It was prompted by the comment of the Minister of Finance who mentioned a narrow point of view earlier. Could the Deputy Prime Minister explain to the House how asking senators and MPs, both past and present, what they think of their own compensation is any different from asking the fox to guard the hen house?
In the House of Commons on January 31st, 1994. See this statement in context.
