Mr. Speaker, somehow I knew they would justify gouging taxpayers. They put themselves on a pedestal above taxpayers who pay the CPP, just like the leader of the fifth party who is looking forward to a pension of more than $4.2 million, just like the Minister of Justice who is looking forward to more than $1.5 million. Brian Tobin, the former Liberal fisheries minister and the premier of Newfoundland is currently receiving $3.8 million.
Will they at least allow those members of Parliament who want to opt out of the super rich gold plated pension plan the opportunity to do so?
