Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, we have been in this Parliament, hearing from the Liberals about helping the national economy. We know they give good words, but on jobs and taxes it remains that you have broken so many promises. Our concern and the concern of Canadians is whether you will keep this promise and ensure that oil gets to tidewater so people can be employed in Canada.

Canada Pension Plan  Madam Speaker, we had consultations, out of which we came up with the pooled retirement pension plan to allow others to join a pension plan.

The problem with Canada pension plan is that the premiums are paid by the employers and the employees.

That is what we should come up with.
