Mr. Speaker, we reject the premise of the hon. member's question.
Our reforms of the Canada pension plan, which have been worked out in co-operation with eight of the provinces, are designed to help middle and lower income Canadians. They are designed to respect the needs of women and people with families.
We want to have a safe and secure pension plan for all Canadians and especially those of lower and medium income. We reject the approach of the Reform Party which wants to destroy that system.
It is about time the NDP joins with us in what we are trying to do to help ordinary Canadians.
