Mr. Mackasey:
You are new here and a little stupid, and that does not help.
Subtopic: BUSINESS OF SUPPLY

Mr. Mackasey:
And no allowance for inflation, Mr. Speaker. It was not limited to $800 per day-it was limited to $6,000 per week.

Hon. Bryce Mackasey (Lincoln):
Mr. Speaker, in 45 minutes we will be asked to vote on a non-confidence motion for the supply period ending March 26, 1983. It is significant that the Leader of the New Democratic Party (Mr. Broad-bent), in putting his reference to a lack of moral standards and the need to refer the issue before us to the Deputy Registrar General, attached it to a vote of non-confidence, knowing full well that it would be defeated. Nobody in their right mind would expect the Government to bring on its own defeat simply to refer to the Deputy Registrar General an issue that the House thinks should be referred there.
Immediately we have the hypocrisy of the Opposition in attaching that to a vote of non-confidence. It shows that deep down they do not want it to go there. That was obvious from the questions today. It is obvious that we will win this vote of confidence. As usual, they wanted the best of all worlds, an opportunity, a day if you like, to belabour the Minister of Finance (Mr. Lalonde) once more. That is fine. I understand the role of the Opposition.

Mr. Mackasey:
There were dozens and dozens of similar experiences in the short time the Tories were in charge, that I could dig out every day I wanted to then dig out, all of which were perfectly proper, all of which reflected the fact that the Government in power was doing its job, all of which, if brought into the House with the tactics used by the Opposition, could smear the reputation of each and every one of those Ministers and each and every one of those recipients.
That is one of the problems and worries that plague ex-Ministers-and I have been "ex" more often than most people in this House. I, too, have my sense of integrity, and I am not afraid to express it and utilize it.

Mr. Mackasey:
Oh, the Hon. Member is interrupting me. I have seen a slight change in his standards in recent weeks and I want to talk about that.
There is something about this House which I respect-1 will go as far as to say 1 love it. It brought me back, and I keep coming back here.
