Mr. Chair, we hear the government speak to us regularly about the fact that it only has jurisdiction over 10% of the pensions of our country. The government has legislative authority over the old age security, the guaranteed income supplement and CPP, just to be clear on what we are talking about here.
Recently, Professor Kesselman, a pension expert, agreed with the NDP's proposition to increase CPP with a goal of doubling it over 35 years. Professor Jack Mintz, who was part of the task force of the government, agreed with Mr. Kesselman.
Having that before us, I am just curious as to whether the member has any knowledge of how soon we can expect the government to start to move on this particular portion of the file.
