Mr. Speaker, the government must take action to protect workers' pension plans.
In 2010, Fraser Papers in Thurso declared bankruptcy and 800 workers lost 40% of their pensions. The same thing is happening elsewhere in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick.
The NDP's policy is clear. Pensions represent earnings saved by workers and they must be paid in full.
How many workers will have to lose their pensions before the government will change the law to protect retirees like those from Fraser Papers?
