Mr. Speaker, it sounds as if this member and perhaps his party are running a little scared and are trying to justify where they are right now.
I have a question for the member. For the people in Thunder Bay—Rainy River, this is a question of a billion dollars for the unemployed or a $300 million election. I heard loud and clear all summer that the election is not a go. Now we see movement from the government on pension reform, on things that we have been talking about, such as protecting workers' pensions. We have seen some movement from the government in the last week.
Let me ask the hon. member this question. Is he not even interested in moving forward, co-operating and protecting workers' pensions?
