Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present two petitions. The first petition is similar to the one presented by my colleague from Halifax West. It is signed by many petitioners from British Columbia and is on the subject of the pension system.
The petitioners note that the CPP, the OAS and the GIS are the cornerstones of Canada's social safety net. The petitioners support a publicly administered universal pension plan. They call upon parliament to rescind Bill C-2, which makes major changes to the Canada pension plan.
Further, they petition the House for a national review of the retirement income system in Canada to ensure the adequacy of Canada's retirement system for today and tomorrow.
