Mr. Speaker, earlier today on the motion, the member for Toronto—Danforth stood in his place and he seemed to be a little upset with the fact that he was being challenged on what the NDP position was with regard to the CPP. He said that it had no plans on doubling the CPP, but it may be an option.
I have a quote from the member for Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, who stated that, “The NDP plan is quite simple. It aims to double Canada pension plan benefits with minimal increases to the contributions”.
Here is another quote from the election platform of the NDP back in 2011, which states, “work with the provinces to double your public pensions”.
Is it the platform that is wrong, or has the NDP changed its platform, or is the member for Toronto—Danforth wrong?
