Mr. Speaker, listen to these words:
The Prime Minister has the moral responsibility to respect the will of the House....
That is a quote from Hansard of April 13, 2005, less than two years ago, made by the Conservative Prime Minister.
Recently, the House adopted a seniors charter that would lower drug and dental costs for everyone over 65 and the veterans first motion that would help extend services and benefits to our veterans. None of these measures were in yesterday's budget.
Why is the Prime Minister widening the gap for seniors? Why does he now believe that he can ignore the will of Parliament?
