Thank you, Mr. Chair.
At our last meeting, we adjourned on the motion that we had before us. I am of course very aware that the witnesses have come here to provide important testimony, and I look forward to getting to that testimony, but, Mr. Chair, following discussions with members, I understand that the majority of members would like to get back to that motion and vote on it today.
Mr. Chair, I therefore move:
That the Chair of the committee immediately report to the House, that the committee:
1. Celebrates the Canada Pension Plan as the foundation of a secure and dignified retirement for tens of millions of Canadians and a pillar of Canada's economy;
2. Recognizes the important contribution of the Quebec Pension Plan which was established independently at the same time as the Canada Pension Plan; and,
3. Stands with the majority of Albertans who are opposed to Premier Danielle Smith's dangerous plan to withdraw from the Canada Pension Plan that threaten the pensions of millions of seniors and hardworking Canadians from coast to coast.
Mr. Chair, I trust that we can get to a vote on this quickly in order to hear from our witnesses.
Thank you.
