Mr. Speaker, when the CPP was introduced, the government claimed that Canadians would never have to pay more than 5.5 percent of their earnings to finance the plan, but now we see 9.9 p. cent, nearly double its prediction.
How can the minister justify making Canadians pay more in CPP taxes when he has actually admitted that his chief actuary of the fund has said that there is no guarantee that increase will give the return that Canadians have been promised?
