Mr. Speaker, this is pathetic.
CIBC sounded the alarm about pension plans being underfunded. An estimated 6 million Canadians will see their standard of living drop by 20%, and if nothing is done, today's youth will have a standard of living that is far below that of their grandparents.
The only way to offer real financial security to workers and their families is by improving public pension plans.
Canadians are asking for it. Provinces are demanding it. Pension specialists are calling for it.
Why are the Conservatives standing in the way of improving public pension plans?
