Mr. Speaker, time and again the Conservatives have put the interests of banks ahead of those of ordinary Canadians.
For 11 million Canadians, the CPP is the only pension plan they have. The government clearly knows that the CPP benefits will be seriously inadequate for retirees in the future, but it refuses to do anything about it. New Democrats are proposing a phased-in doubling of the CPP. Our pragmatic proposal is even endorsed by a former actuary of the Canada pension plan.
Will the Conservatives include this practical plan in their upcoming budget?
