Mr. Speaker, the human resource minister does not care if EI changes have hit women the hardest.
Women are also the biggest losers in the government's pension plan grab. There are women who have worked for 20 years and receive less than $10,000 a year in pension. Now the finance minister says “I want their pension surplus”. Does the government have no shame?
The pension surplus grab is at the expense of seniors, RCMP members and military personnel, government workers who have served our country for years. They are taxpayers. Money they receive is spent in their communities. Why is the government taking it away?
