Mr. Speaker, I cannot quarrel with my friend's numbers because I do not know if they are accurate or not.
The government is a Liberal government and it was a Liberal government that put in place the Canada pension plan in the first place. For a question like that to come to me is especially appropriate because the late Right Hon. Paul Martin, Senior, was a key person in putting the pension plan in place and I hold his riding today, a fact of which I am very proud.
I can assure the member and the listening public that under a Liberal government the Canada pension plan will not falter; it will not fail. Yes, even my friend opposite in 23 years' time will get his Canada pension plan payments.
