Madam Speaker, I appreciate the member opposite and his remarks. The question I would have for him if I were allowed to give one would be: What about the issue of MPs pensions? Were the people consulted on that?
When I look at things such as this bill we are talking about today and the gun registration bill which was mentioned earlier today, I would ask the member opposite if he really, truly and sincerely believes that full consultation went on throughout all departments with this government. Perhaps he should go out on the street-and I would be happy to accompany him-and ask the people if they have been consulted on Bill C-98, on Bill C-68 and on Bill C-85. I rest my case.
