Bill No. 109 - Pension Benefits Act. - Second Reading

CLAUDIA CHENDER: Mr. Speaker, I will keep my comments very brief. I also was pleased to see the documents that my colleague referenced, the consultation documents. We know that this bill came out of conversations with retirees, plan members, other stakeholders, unions and we were glad to see that co-operation and conversation.

I think that my colleague has ably canvassed everything there is to know about pensions and questions we might be asking. So, I'll save my own rendition for third reading, but in the meantime, I definitely look forward to hearing people come forward at Law Amendments Committee.

Pensions, as we've discussed, are an area, indeed, as my colleague said, that are boring until they're not anymore; until they matter to you, or for all of us, to our constituents. But, they also, there are a lot of players at the table, in discussing these things. We have experts, we have plan members, we have organizations, employers, unions.

So, I really look forward to hearing those voices at Law Amendments Committee and to coming back to this conversation in third reading.
