Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to see the hon. member taking interest in the
preservation of the Canada pension plan. That is the reason we set up, along with the provinces, the consultation process which is now under way.
As the hon. member knows, a number of options are being looked at within that consultation process, one of which is to increase substantially the degree of funding so that it will go from simply a two-year reserve to a much greater degree of funding, which may well be an option the provinces and the federal government will come to. It is premature, but it is one of the things being discussed.
