Madam Speaker, I share my Bloc colleague's frustration with the member's attempt to distract from the issue at hand. Any attempt to suggest that there are more important things we should be talking about in the House of Commons this morning is a direct disservice to the senior women who have been denied survivor benefits for so many years, many of whom are living in poverty.
I was so moved by my colleague from North Island—Powell River's excellent speech regarding the issue, and the dedication she has shown, yet I read the government's official response to the report, and what I read is an excuse and I read tacit support for a policy that is fundamentally unjust.
Therefore I would ask the member for a very direct yes or no answer to this question: Does he or does he not support recommendation 9, “That the Government of Canada repeal the ‘marriage after 60’ clause in both the Canadian Forces Superannuation Act and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act”?
