Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
I'd like to direct my first question to Mr. Hawn. One of the things that seems to be thrown out there, and I get e-mails and letters to the editor on this, is how unfair this is to the veterans and how the members of Parliament, the senators, and the Federal Court judges are better off.
Mr. Stoffer played that up, I guess to get sympathy for the cause, but ultimately the facts are these. When you were paying into your superannuation and they came along and said, okay, your CPP contribution is going to be deducted out of your premium for your superannuation--correct?--you really had more take-home pay than you would have had if you had paid the CPP premium independent of your superannuation. Is that correct?
