Mr. Speaker, maybe it is because it is Friday; pensions seem to be a Friday question.
The fact is that the government has committed itself to reform of the pension plan. The Prime Minister has stated unequivocally during the election, after the election, in the House and outside the House that he feels the age for receiving the pension should be reviewed. That is part of an overall review which includes the issue of double dipping.
I know the member would want to reflect on the fact that several members in her caucus are currently receiving pensions from various departments of the Government of Canada at the same time as receiving their salaries.
Obviously the pension issue is a complex issue. We will be introducing some very specific changes, but to suggest that the Government of Canada is going to solve its financial problems by a review of the pension system for 295 MPs is not a fair reflection of the fact that our financial problems are much more significant. They require some structural changes to the economy which we intend to carry out.
