Mr. Speaker, while the constituents in my riding and Canadians across the country are suffering under the recession, The Globe and Mail is reporting that the CEOs of Canada's six largest banks are pocketing $8.3 billion in bonuses. This comes less than one year after the government propped the banks up with $75 billion.
In the United States and the United Kingdom, the governments are taking this on and restricting executive pay. Why will the Conservative government not do the same?
