Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.
The Minister of Finance was in Winnipeg recently speaking to the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce. I understand he was asked a question about the status of CN pensions.
Would he say here in the House today what he is reported to have said at that meeting, that under any circumstances of privatization of CN that may happen in the future, pensions of CN pensioners will be guaranteed by the Government of Canada and CN pensioners have nothing to fear from privatization? Will he put that on the record here today?
