Madam Speaker, like my colleague across the way, I am a bit surprised that today's far right Conservatives have made the decision to vote against this legislation. It would appear as if the Bloc is going to do likewise. This legislation would at the very least, and I know the NDP will want to do more, provide some tax relief from the GST.
I want to pick up on the member's comments in regard to pharmacare. Like him, I am very passionate about it. Fortunately, between the Liberals and the New Democrats, we were able to come up with legislation. One of the fears I have is that a future Conservative government would get rid of the pharmacare program, when in fact we should be looking at ways we can expand it, to include things like shingles, for example.
I wonder if my colleague could provide his thoughts on the fear factor of the Conservatives' hidden agenda that would not only not support pharmacare but look at getting rid of it in some form or another.
