Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 I am pleased and proud to present a petition on behalf of my constituents in Winnipeg North Centre and on behalf of other concerned Manitobans.
They petition this government with their concerns regarding current and proposed changes to Canada's retirement system. In specific terms, they petition this government to rescind Bill C-2 because it imposes such serious massive premiums hikes while reducing benefits and because of concerns for the establishment of an investment fund which will mean a loss of dollars in this country and benefit to stockholders and bond dealers.
They also petition that this government call for and put in place a national review of the retirement income system in Canada in order to ensure the adequacy of Canada's retirement system today and tomorrow.
