Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague's speech with great interest. When I read the text of his motion, what I understood was that he wanted to give everybody an exemption for their first $3,000 of earnings. Currently, the act provides for an exemption and a full reimbursement for those who earned under $2,000.
Is he really proposing that all the contributors be given a premium holiday on their first $3,000 of earnings? That is my first question.
As for my second question, does he not find it curious that the government, which has had a unanimous report before it for three years, has nothing more than badly developed and temporary proposals to make?
