Mr. Speaker, the government has been asleep at the switch for months now, and our pensioners are paying the price. Canadians expect their government to play a leading role in the future of pension plans. But the changes the government is proposing are simply not enough.
These changes do not even meet the needs of Nortel and forestry industry pensioners, who are holding demonstrations and are very worried.
When will the government come up with real solutions for pensioners and stop playing politics?
Our pensioners want respect. Is that so hard for this Conservative government?
