Mr. Speaker, baseball is back and so am I. We will play some hardball.
On March 13, while I was away, I became a reluctant member of the Liberal's pork pension for life club, a club that will give the Deputy Prime Minister over $2 million, my immigration minister friend over $3 million and the new president of the CBC, Perrin Beatty, over $5 million.
I want to opt out of this ludicrous plan. Yet under government guidelines I am trapped at the trough.
Will the government extend the opting out clause to include MPs with six or more years service, not just new MPs as it says?
