Mr. Speaker, on January 27, I participated in a debate at the University of Manitoba entitled "Generation X-Inheriting the Debt".
I sat in utter astonishment as I listened to the Liberal member from St. Boniface say to these students whose futures are in jeopardy because of decades of Liberal and Tory overspending that continued deficits have been worth it because "look at all the good things we have".
My astonishment turned to utter disbelief when the same Liberal member from St. Boniface stated that all the talk about MPs' pensions being so rich is just a crock. As this member and other Liberal trough feeders continue to extol the virtues of deficit spending and point to the frugality of their pension plans, one can be sure that the Canadian taxpayers recognizes that this Liberal defence in fact is just a crock.
