Madam Speaker, I have two petitions to present today to the House of Commons.
In the first one, 558 constituents from Okanagan-Similkameen-Merritt have signed the following: "We the undersigned residents of Okanagan-Similkameen-Merritt draw the attention of this House to the following: that the finance minister has indicated that he might change the rules regarding RRSPs and pensions and tax the holdings or income of these plans. Therefore we request that Parliament oppose any attempt to alter our ability to provide for secure retirement by way of taxation of assets or income of RRSPs and pension plans".
The message is clear, Madam Speaker. Do not touch our RRSPs or our pension plans.
