[Pensions, February 4th, 2013]

Mr. Speaker, last Friday the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that forces parliamentarians to take action: the law on business bankruptcies must be revised to ensure that workers are treated equitably and that they are entitled to the retirement fund that they themselves financed.

People who have worked hard their whole lives should not come last. Pension protection is good for prosperity and economic growth.

Since these are the Conservatives’ top priorities, when will we have legislation to solve this problem?

[Strengthening Military Justice in the Defence of Canada Act, December 11th, 2012]

Mr. Speaker, yes, I agree that Mr. Lamer's strong, and long, investigation looked at the problems with military justice, and he was thoughtful in his recommendations.

It is important to listen and look at the money that was spent at the time, as well as the time of the people who were tasked with this, and make sure that the amendments proposed reflect what was presented at the time.

I believe that if the Conservative government wants to listen to our recommendations and amend the bill, then we could achieve something that is good for our military. It is important to recognize the value of these people who represent Canada.
