I would ask the Canadians and Quebecers who are watching us today from their living room or their kitchen to remember-Quebec has a fine motto: "I remember"-that the Bloc Quebecois exposed the fact that the president of CN, Paul Tellier, who has a yearly salary of $345,000 plus a $52,000 a year expense account, received a $300,000 interest-free loan to buy a house in Westmount.
Let us ask ourselves if it is normal, if it is realistic, in 1995, that a senior civil servant paid with our taxes, the taxes of Canadians and Quebecers, benefit from such perks. I do not care if these advantages are offered to the president of CP or the president of General Motors of Canada. If these companies want to share their profits, they have the right to do so. However, when the president of CN benefits from such perks and we are paying for that through our taxes, it is a different matter. Do the viewers who are watching us today pay their mortgage each month?
