Mr. Speaker, in my Member’s statement I talked about the fact that I get calls from constituents on a fairly consistent basis talking about their frustration with getting information on retirement options and support for planning their retirement and then acquiring the pension benefits that are due to them. There are certainly examples of private- and public-sector industry standards in this area. I want to make sure that our public service is entitled to, and is receiving, that same level of service that anyone else would expect.
Mr. Speaker, I’d like to ask the Minister of Human Resources what kind of support is available now in the Department of Human Resources for people who are wanting to plan for their retirement options.
