Mr. Speaker, we are talking here about a pension plan and in the private sector we have to match dollar for dollar. In this House, the taxpayers have to pay $6 for every $1 MPs put into their pension. It is gold plated, it is exorbitant and it is too extravagant.
Will the Prime Minister tell Canadians why he and his government support lifetime pensions for members of Parliament after only six years of service?
