Mr. Speaker, I would strongly advise the hon. member to read the bill. First, had he done so, he would have realized there is no retroactivity, no contribution for existing debts, nothing of the sort. These are quite simply unsubstantiated statements. Second, the bill will come into effect in about a year. Lastly, the member has no need to worry about my party; it is in very fine shape.
In the House of Commons on January 31st, 2003. See this statement in context.
