To score political points? I know you mentioned that you'll vote for the Conservatives no matter what as they're your team, so to speak, but to me this shouldn't even be a political issue.

Yes he does raise valid points (however its the condescending way he usually raised them that gets my hackles up). And, even though I support the CPC, I don't agree with all their policies. I agree that programs like these shouldn't face cutbacks. And I also agree that the new bill, discussed in this thread is pure political bs and won't change a thing. It'll only give the appearance of change.
