I will reiterate once again , as I did in the House , that I believe that this bill is essentially designed as a punitive measure to get back at those labour organizations in our province that dared to stand up to this government and in fact raised issues during the 1995 provincial general election campaign and to raise public awareness of these issues , and that this government is now bringing forward Bill 26 as a punitive measure to in many ways tie the hands of those organizations from ever being able to take effective action , and at the same time recognizing that this government , while they have tied the hands of labour organizations in this province who dared to speak out , they have not taken similar actions to those that are familiar and friendly with this particular government , namely those in certain sectors of the business community and that it is undemocratic , the sections that the government is - - and the actions the government is proposing through this bill . " Among the writers on economic history whom he entirely ignores are Schumpeter , Mises , Hayek , Viner , Rothbard , and Kirz ner . Vatican Council II made it clear that the proper course of Marian devotion is not to heap up additional privileges and exemptions that distinguish her from other Christians but to incorporate our understanding of Mary ever more fully into the life of discipleship as the icon of the Church . They are not fools ; they do not take their decisions lightly ; and yet their president stood here and told you you were wrong and challenged you to make a case to the contrary . So when promises are made and then broken in the most cavalier fashion , it is incumbent on all people , but particularly it is incumbent on those of us who are entrusted with representing Manitobans , to do our best to discern the truth and to then do our best to speak the truth . Mr. Sale : Mr. Chairperson , the change here seems to be the addition of a number of clauses , particularly the Order-in-Council , which becomes ( b ) and some other wording changes to make this a much more exhaustive definition of instrument than was already in . What is particularly concerning here is not only the out-of-scope question - - because I think if we do not say that it is out of scope , there is a whole process question here that has to be dealt with , not just as us , we are just the representatives of the people in this particular case - - but there are obviously different people who would make a presentation depending on the scope of the bill . I think the issue of a retroactive adjustment on pension costing taxpayers $ 1.5 million dollars is unreasonable , particularly in light of the fact that these pension plans are already amongst the most generous in all of Manitoba , and to treat the compensation adjustment at the same level as was provided to other people that derive their compensation from the taxpayers of Manitoba , which is an adjustment of 2.3 percent , which is what we provided other people receiving compensation back in September 1993 , when judges did not receive an adjustment , is a reasonable and fair thing to do . What it has done is it has supplanted the independent process , the third-party process , with the government 's own view entirely . If such a series were ever made , it would be not only revolutionary but also something of a miracle . The judge entirely adopted the government 's scenario despite the jury 's findings to the contrary . So the first requirement would be to make it plain to all Manitobans why this new circumstance had arisen , what the urgency was , and to plainly share with Manitobans data as objective as can be obtained by government in a form and in locations accessible to Manitobans , particularly those Manitobans who live in parts of our province where telephones are even more vital and where their affordability and accessibility , functionality are even more an issue than they are for us who live in urban settings . Both suspicions are , of course , entirely justified . They have repeatedly and openly attacked the campaign against religious persecution . Astute as ever , my friend Robert Louis Wilken , the distinguished church historian , is impressed by " We Hold These Truths , " but he also admits to having some problems with the declaration released on the Fourth of July and included in our last issue .
