Mr. Speaker, it is amazing how quickly viewpoints change when a party becomes the government.
In opposition the Liberal rat pack railed against the Mulroney government patronage perks and pork. Now in government the rat pack has become the fat pack. They fought against changes to their lavish gold plated pension plans and they appear to have won. The Liberal government has backed off reforming the pension plans of the fat pack and any other MP with more than 10 years of service.
My question for the President of the Treasury Board is: Why will he not introduce pension reform that cuts equally across the board?
