moved for leave to introduce Bill C-352, an act to amend the Members of Parliament Retiring Allowance Act (deduction re other income).
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House to resubmit my private member's bill.
This bill will amend the Members of Parliament Retiring Allowance Act by clawing back the pensions of former members of Parliament, which are largely funded, of course, by Canadian taxpayers.
The millions upon millions of dollars saved could be directed toward reducing the debt, lowering taxes of long suffering Canadians or prop up funding to health care and secondary education.
I ask all members of the House to support the bill.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
