Madam Speaker, I guess it is pretty much acknowledged, at least on this side of the House, that the government has a problem with a level playing field when it comes to a lot of issues.
We can compare APEC with a lot of issues where there is a lot of unfairness and where there is no level playing field. If we look at what is happening with students, when it comes to post-secondary education, there is no level playing field. There are students who can afford post-secondary education and there are students who cannot afford it.
There are women involved in the pay equity issue. I would be very concerned if anybody in here would disagree that there is certainly not a level playing field when it comes to the pay equity issue that both the Conservative government and the Liberal government have refused to settle.
Women are being attacked by employment insurance changes which are forcing them back into the kitchen with no income. They are being forced to stay at home, sometimes facing violence. They no longer have an income.
These are all decisions being taken by this Liberal government. One would almost think that we have a government that wants to silence Canadians.
We know that the students were picked up and thrown into jail, but nobody was charged. Why were the students were not charged? Why were they thrown into jail and treated like criminals when no charges were laid?
