Age 65 CPP Clawback-Parliament

As a retired Canadian Forces member, I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who supported Bill C-201.

For those who did not have the guts to show their support and those who rejected Bill C-201at the Parliamentary Committee level, shame on you! By not supporting this Bill, you proved that you value budgets and fiscal restraint more than you value to dedication and sacrifices of the members for the RCMP and the Canadian Forces.

To those who abstained from voting, you should be ashamed to show your face to the constituents in your riding. You did not fulfill your obligation to the members of the RCMP, Military, and the people of Canada when you refused to either support or reject Bill C-201.

The welfare of our RCMP and Canadian Forces veterans upon retirement should be considered honourable and deserving of whatever this country can offer to support them in their senior years. The Conservative and Liberal governments obviously do not agree or they would have voted to support Bill C-201.

At least my MP, Scott Simms, supported Bill C-201. Maybe he should be made Liberal Leader.
