There is an urgency here, Mr. Speaker, when it comes to cases like Nortel and many others. We need the government to take action now.
Last June an NDP motion received the support of all parties in the House. It gave a sense of hope to Canadians who were concerned about their retirement security. Here is what we called for, which was supported by all parties: expand and increase the CPP, OAS and GIS; establish a pension insurance program; and ensure that pension funds go to the front of the line of creditors whenever there is a bankruptcy.
His own party voted for it. Why not take action now? The consultation has gone on an awful long time.
