Mr. Speaker, the public will hardly be impressed by a 33 per cent reduction in a plan that is four to five times richer than any other plan in the country.
The fact is that the minister had to abandon real MP pension reform under pressure from senior colleagues who wanted to preserve most of the excessive features of the old plan. We now have a two-tier MP pension plan. One for the fat pack and one for the rest: trough regular and trough light.
Will the minister eliminate this two-tier system in favour of a plan that applies equally to all members of the House?
