Mr. Speaker, this morning past employees of the former finance minister gathered on Parliament Hill. These are Voyageur pensioners, people who lost up to 30% of their pensions at the hands of the former finance minister. To quote one of them, the former finance minister stiffed them.

Will the government allow a full, independent inquiry into how these people lost their pensions?
