Mr. Speaker, yesterday, in a surprising declaration, the Minister of Human Resources Development clearly stated for the first time his desire for an in-depth reform of the old age security system. He even had the nerve and arrogance to confront Canadians with an odious choice: to either finance the pension system or provide training programs for young people.
Could the minister, remembering what he and his colleagues said when they were in opposition, stop stirring up people's emotions by giving Canadians an indecent choice between old age security and youth training programs?
