Mr. Speaker, the fact that the Reform Party has a different set of values than most Canadians and the fact that the Reform Party does not believe in the Canada pension plan certainly does not give it licence to misconstrue what the Canada pension plan is all about and how important it is to Canadians.
The leader of the Reform Party knows full well that not one penny of Canada pension plan premiums comes to government, neither to the federal government nor to the provincial governments that joined with us. It is invested for the retirement savings of Canadians in exactly the same way as with other retirement schemes.
Just because the Reform Party does not believe in the basic institutions of the country, it is no reason to stand up in the House and deliberately misconstrue what the heck they are all about.
