Mr. Pearson also, said the government wants to put the pension legislation through the preliminary stages before any summer recess.

The list had MPs gasping be- cause it ran to more than 20 major items of legislation. Besides the amendment to the BNA 'Act and the pension. plan, the list included: Amendments to the.
