Parliament Hill Report on Pension Plan and Budget Debates
The House ends a partial session with the Easter adjournment. Canadians favor a government pension plan now debated and then sent to a committee. Ontario and Manitoba request further study while Quebec abstains. The bill includes a 1 percent premium on wages up to 4500 and optional self employed participation, with provincial opt outs possible. The session also covers sending 1100 Canadians abroad for a peacekeeping force and the Budget introduced by Walter Gordon, with a six day debate typical of the era.
