Mr. Speaker, the minister is droning on again about compassion. We know how he defines it. When there is no cost involved, he is compassionate. But when he has to pay, his compassion is all gone.
The battle by Singer's retired employees against the federal government can be compared to the fight between David and Goliath. Everyone knows that all these retired workers abandoned by the federal government do not have the means to defend themselves before the courts, while the federal government can afford to.
The minister should admit that his decision is heartless and unfair for Singer's retired employees, and for the tens of thousands of other retired workers that he has abandoned.
