Mr. Chair, I am actually quite glad that the minister recognizes that in fact economic growth can help Canada take care of its debt issue and he actually agrees with my leader in that regard. In fact, the expert testimony I was quoting was the hon. member when he appeared before the finance committee.
I would like to move on to CPP. Does the minister agree with the following statement?
...I am concerned that some Canadians may not save enough for their retirement. ...I heard strong support for the Canada pension plan and the central role that it plays in our government-supported retirement...system.
I believe that we should consider a modest, phased-in and fully funded enhancement to defined benefits under the CPP in order to increase savings adequacy in the future.
Does the minister agree with that?
