Mr. Speaker, we made it very clear in the budget statement that the government will do nothing to jeopardize the security of our seniors who are on public pension plans.
What we did say was that in order to maintain the sustainability of the Canada pension plan there has to be a review. As the hon. member knows, there are substantial changes going on in the demographics of this country. The CPP does not apply to Quebec, but it has a relationship because the two pension plans have a certain compatibility. We do want to have a public review before the Minister of Finance meets with his provincial colleagues by the end of the year. That is one reason it is very important that we be able to get out for public view how the Canada pension plan itself
can be revised and amended to ensure it maintains its sustainability.
