Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want to thank our guests today. We've had an excellent discussion. I appreciate the input you are providing.
Obviously there is no one answer to all the problems we're having with the pension issue. We're looking at it here, and the minister is going across the country with Ted, looking at the issue. I had a public meeting in my riding where pensions were not the whole meeting but a significant portion of it.
To the chamber, it's my understanding that multi-employee plans can exist as long as they're all within the same industry, or the same grouping. You indicated to a previous question that your members might be interested in plans that allow multi employers, regardless of what industry they're in.
Can you definitively tell me if your members, as chamber members, are actually demanding that issue in terms of the ability to have pension plans, and is it important in terms of not only their own future retirement but retention of employees?
