Mr. Chair, the issue mentioned by my hon. friend was referred to in the Speech from the Throne. That is the comment on behalf of the government relating to the spending power.
I should clarify that I do not have a pension, and I thank the hon. member for wishing me one. In fact, I was one of the persons in the Ontario Legislature who voted to abolish that gold plated pension back in the 1990s. I have no intention of losing my seat, however, so I hope to one day be entitled to a reasonable pension in this place.
The good news is that someone who does not need a pension, Sidney Crosby, has scored again, and I am told it is 2:0 Penguins.
