Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, Nortel pensioners and former employees will gather on the front steps of Parliament to call for action and fairness from the government, a government that has done nothing to protect them. Nortel workers in the U.S. had their pensions protected while Canadian workers were hung out to dry because the government refused to act.
In June, the House unanimously supported the NDP's call for a national pension insurance system. That call will be echoed tomorrow by Nortel workers outside of this place.
Will the finance minister commit today to the creation of a national pension insurance program?
