I will respond by talking about changes proposed to the Canada Pension Plan that will allow people to get their pension. Currently, when you get your pension, you can no longer continue to contribute to the plan. We are changing all that. Individuals will be able, at an age they determine, to begin receiving their pension while continuing to work and contribute to improve their lives. They will be able to get their pensions—perhaps not an astronomical amount, but a base amount nonetheless—while continuing to earn income.
