Mr. Speaker, Canadians do not rely on the government to tell them the truth about the Canada pension plan. That is why we have an independent chief actuary to give us the numbers. When that actuary warned finance officials that the CPP rate would have to climb above 10%, he was hauled on the carpet and it was suggested, and I suggest none too sweetly, that he change his report or else. Six days later he was out of a job.
Why did the finance minister allow his officials to pressure Mr. Dussault into changing the numbers on the CPP report?
