Mr. Speaker, there is some lively back-and-forth this evening. Bill C‑12 has its merits, obviously. However, there are two categories of seniors whose fate has not been clarified. When it comes to inflation, seniors in my riding of Trois-Rivières are telling me every day that the money is coming a bit late. What I want to know is whether we are going to treat these people fairly, meaning with equity, or whether we are just going to treat everyone the same, meaning with equality, by which I mean mistreat them equally.

Mr. Speaker, I commend my colleague from Hull—Aylmer. Even though we sometimes agree in principle, and even though we all agree that seniors need to be helped, I have the following question for him: Does he believe that an agreement, even in principle, precludes critical thinking? Should speed replace due diligence? I am curious.

Madam Speaker, you are forgiven. I appreciate what my hon. colleague from Abitibi—Témiscamingue said. All parties agree that seniors are important. I often say that we are trying to replace speed with due diligence, but perhaps he would agree with me that there has been neither speed nor due diligence when it comes to this bill.
