Mr. Speaker, I hear a lot of talk in the House today about wanting an actuarially sound plan.
I know of a plan that is actuarially sound. I heard about one tier, two tier and three tier. The fourth tier they forgot to mention was the MP pension plan. There were members across the way, people who used to be members, who are collecting $3.4 million. There are people across the way who are eligible to collect $2.8 million. There are people in the Conservative Party who are eligible to collect $4.3 million.
If they are talking about something that is actuarially sound why do they not comment in terms of this pension, the one that we are going to be paying double into, 9.9 percent of our income? MPs pay only 9.5 percent of their income and yet they can collect millions. Canadians can only expect $8,800 a year for maximum contributions under the CPP. Why do they not comment on that?
