Hon. Michael Wilson (Minister of Finance):
Mr. Speaker, what the Hon. Member points out is that there are far-reaching pension reforms contained in the Budget, in terms of the pension benefit standards, the ability of Canadians to save through pensions, and the investment of those pension plans. The Hon. Member raises a good point, which he has raised before. I appreciate his interest in this matter. It is a question for which my colleague, the Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, is responsible. I will certainly discuss the matter with him.
