Mr. Speaker, it is disturbing to watch the forces of extremism that this minister employs to protect his empire. The auditor general, for instance, says that his accounting practices are not right. He says that is too bad. When the actuary for the EI fund says to lower the rate to $2, he says no way. When the chief actuary for the CPP says that the numbers are wrong, he says too bad, you're fired.
Why keep Canadians in suspense? Since he is going to do whatever he wants anyway, why does the finance minister not just tell us, is the rate for the CPP 10%, 11%, or 12%? What has he decided today?
