Mr. Chair, my predecessor and I have always said that an income security program was needed. One of the minister's colleagues said he is 58 years old and he does not have such a problem. But he has a pension fund waiting for him, and so do I. The minister is leaving these people with nothing to look forward to.
I would like to come back to another promise the minister did not keep. In December 2005, the Prime Minister promised to introduce a bill on the federal spending power. Will he introduce such a bill in this House before the summer recess? That is an official promise made by the Prime Minister in December 2005.
