Mr. Speaker, I want to participate very briefly in this debate to fully support the very important motion which my colleague from Winnipeg Centre has put before the House.
Over the years I have had a number of instances in my own constituency in which working people have had their pension surplus stripped away from them.
The purpose of this motion is to ensure that those surpluses, which in effect are a kind of deferred wage, should accrue to those who are entitled to them, that is, the working men and women in that particular place of employment.
I will not make a lengthy speech but I am pleased to rise in the House today to commend my colleague and to indicate that I fully support this very important motion.
