Mr. Speaker, I imagine that I should have allowed the hon. member for Saint-Hyacinthe--Bagot to speak. I will continue using the same logic as the member who has just spoken. According to him, if the hon. member for Saint-Hyacinthe--Bagot is such a great forecaster, he ought to quit politics and work at getting rich. Applying that same logic to the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance, does this mean that, as he was in the financial field before, he was such a poor forecaster that he had to leave that field and take a seat in the House of commons, with the associated drop in income?
Last year, he was probably one of the people calling for a raise in MPs' salaries. I would like his comments on this.
