Well, I think it is a real summit in that these are the people who have direct responsibility for pensions across the country. In fact, there are only four provinces that have pensions led by a finance minister. In Manitoba it's Labour and Immigration, in New Brunswick it's Justice and Consumer Affairs, and so on. So these people have never met, and by bringing together a single-purpose summit of the provincial leaders, plus the federal Minister of Finance, then we have all the people responsible for pensions all across the country together in one meeting.
On October 21st, 2009. See this statement in context.
