Mr. Chair, my colleague talked about a variety of options. New Democrats are offering one option, that CPP be doubled, which my colleague mentioned in her speech.
My colleague is talking about a crisis presently in the pension system. Would she not agree that a doubling of the CPP would take 20 to 30 years for true effect in terms of providing a stable pension income for Canadians? Would she not agree that the government needs to do things other than doubling it at this point, because it would not affect the immediate needs?
