Mr. Speaker, I totally agree with my hon. colleague from Edmonton Strathcona that this is also worrying. It appears that the government thinks there is enough of a surplus in the Canada pension plan that it is okay to reduce contributions. We need to know that there is not going to be a reduction in the benefits to which senior Canadians are entitled, and we need to know that it is not seen as a business tax.
Also, there is one quick thing, if I may. The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Act is one of the pieces of legislation that should be amended. There is $80 billion in the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. It has access to $80 billion, and most of it is invested in the United States. All it looks at is the return on investment, not thinking of Canada first in regard to where we invest our Canada pension plan dollars. It is shocking.
