Mr. Speaker, we all know that when the government gets its claws on this $30 billion, it does it, as the member has just said, because it is the government and it knows best.
There are many different options that could be used instead of this money being confiscated by the government and used for whatever political purposes it chooses. It could be given back to the people who paid the premiums in terms of refunds. It could be used to increase the benefits to individual members. It could also be used for other purposes.
Would the member of the Conservative Party who just spoke divulge to the House what his party's preferences would be on how this $30 billion should be used since it clearly is opposed to the government taking it as it is.
