Mr. Speaker, let us see if we have this straight with regard to the firing of the chief actuary of the Canada pension plan.
We understand that the Minister of Finance is informed by the superintendent of financial institutions that there are serious problems with the highly respected chief actuary. The chief actuary is widely known as a man of integrity and competence.
The minister would have us believe that he did not even bother to ask about the nature of the problems. That is absolutely incredible.
Is this really the minister's position? Does he expect the Canadian public to believe this line?
