At some point, they are going to retire and we need to ensure they have somewhat decent pensions for the work they have done.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4566296\" data-originallang=\"en\">Would the member comment on the importance of getting the different stakeholders together, specifically the provinces, with Ottawa to come up with an agreement for the betterment of today's workers?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4566295\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 ne convient-il pas que le projet de loi dont nous d\u00e9battons aujourd\u2019hui d\u00e9coule en partie des discussions que nous avons tenues avec les gouvernements provinciaux? N\u2019est-ce pas gr\u00e2ce au puissant leadership qui s\u2019est manifest\u00e9 au niveau national qu\u2019on en est venu \u00e0 la conclusion que le R\u00e9gime de pensions du Canada devait \u00eatre bonifi\u00e9 et qu\u2019il fallait commencer \u00e0 penser \u00e0 l\u2019avenir des travailleurs? \u00c0 un moment ou \u00e0 un autre, ceux-ci vont prendre leur retraite, et il faut veiller \u00e0 ce qu\u2019ils touchent alors une pension \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s d\u00e9cente pour le travail qu\u2019ils ont accompli.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4566296\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 aurait-il des commentaires \u00e0 faire sur l\u2019importance de regrouper les divers interlocuteurs, surtout les provinces, pour arriver, de concert avec Ottawa, \u00e0 une entente qui am\u00e9liorera le sort des travailleurs d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui?</p>"
