It is a direct quote. One hundred and fifty-eight million is what it cost Canadians extra; extra for the ordinary pension plan. I have not even talked about the top up provision. That is from the Public Accounts of Canada.
That is why Canadians are absolutely outraged. We talked today about the member for Beaver River who believes she walked away from a pension plan in which she would receive benefits in the neighbourhood of $1.25 million. I said to her: "Does that make you an ex-millionaire or a could have been millionaire?" We talked about that a little bit. We did realize that for everybody who opts into this pension plan they are want to be millionaires.
That, at the taxpayer's expense, is totally and absolutely unjustifiable. There is that ad on TV: Retire at age 55, freedom day on the beach in Bermuda; shorts, the sun is up. He is there with his wife. The ad says: "This could be you, too". Of course it is you over there.
