Mr. Speaker, it is interesting to note that the government is going to wait for the outcome of these consultations. That is not leadership.
Today the Montreal Gazette quotes the member for Winnipeg North Centre, who is the government's point man for the CPP road show. In the article the member says that the government is committed to protecting the fundamental part of Canada's overall pension system. What does protection mean? Pay more and get less or some other painful remedy?
My question is for the Deputy Prime Minister. What guarantee does the government give seniors that it will maintain the standard of living for seniors?
