Mr. Speaker, I have a petition here whereby the petitioners ask the government to deal with pensioners' pensions in an extremely sensitive and fair way. They want to ensure that today's pension plans respond to their actual needs.
They realize that for several years now they have not received the amount necessary to have the quality of life they are entitled to.
They also want to make sure that whatever future plans are changed, if they are to be changed, they take into consideration the unique situation of our citizens.
Finally, they wish us all to recognize that the country that we have today and many of the benefits that we enjoy are as a result of their contributions to this society.
We must not forget them.
