I have indicated it time and time again to anyone who would listen that that was my intent . When the NDP went to that organization and said , give us your views , and we tabled the views , we gave them to everybody . Should the people be seated in pews with kneelers , or in chairs arranged in a crescent or circle ? You demean the elected officials of this province when you suggest that they are so feeble-minded that the NDP can just walk in and tell them to pass a motion . The member for St. Johns ( Mr. Mackintosh ) refers to the adjustments to MLAs , and I think he knows , if he does not , I will remind him , that there was all-party agreement of the Liberals , the NDP and the Conservatives on a process , agreement that they would be adopted by the Legislature subsequent to the election , and that is exactly what happened , based on an all-party agreement of all parties . So their opposition , the opposition of every single municipality in this province to what you are doing , is based on fearmongering by the NDP . We hope that the government will be looking at them very carefully , because I can tell members of this committee that we have some time to review the presentations that were made during committee , both from the business community and from the labour community , and that we would be proposing amendments to improve what is a disastrous piece of legislation . ( For Jews and Christians , even acts not directly involving other human persons still involve God , with whom we are involved in a covenanted community . When the community assembles , it should celebrate its religious experience , thereby intensifying and solidifying it . In our age of " victimology , " this might sound cruel , but anyone who appreciates religious morality can see its authentically religious compassion . Here Grisez knows that he must carefully distinguish between the Church per se , which as a theologian faithful to her he regards as infallible , and the Church as a community of sinful human beings . Mr. Chairperson , when was the last time the NDP had the power to fearmonger in the council of Morden , Manitoba ? Also , I remind the minister that comparing the pension scheme available to employees may not be the right measurement or the right pension scheme to compare to the judges ' pension scheme , given that you have to serve 10 years at the bar , I believe , before one even can be considered for appointment to the bench or different considerations . 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 .
