Mr. Speaker, throughout a good portion of the September to December debate in this House, Reform Party members, including the hon. member, kept pointing out that the provinces would not support the Canada pension plan. They kept pointing out that the Canadian people would not support the Canada pension plan. The fact is that the provinces overwhelmingly support the Canada pension plan. Canadians overwhelmingly support the Canada pension plan. In fact the only Canadians who do not are the members of the Reform Party and they are out of it again.
In the House of Commons on February 2nd, 1998. See this statement in context.
