Mr. Speaker, I am sure the member can appreciate that on the whole issue of pension, there is an issue of trust or lack thereof. The government has not really seen the merit of having provincial conferences. The Prime Minister, for example, has yet to meet with the premiers and he has been Prime Minister for a number of years. He chooses to meet with them on an individual basis. The CPP is a wonderful program that provides comfort for hundreds of thousands of people.
Would the member want to provide some sort of assurance that the meeting coming up later this month, even though the Prime Minister and premiers will not be there, will be given a high priority in trying to come up with ways to enhance the CPP program so that in the years ahead, more seniors will be prevented from being put into poverty-type situations?
