As the Globe & Mail pointed out rocently. “Pew slons are for People", The main purpose should not be to provide huge funds of investment money Mor the use of a Government without any repayment to the contributors by way of I pen- sion not payable for twenty or lthlrty )‘elrs. 1n the future under an unscrupulous government such a procedure could amount to nothing less than forced con- fiscntion of citizens' savings fwith no guarmtee of repayment. The Federal Gpvernment hes pioneered the Pension field and has given the lead that brings hope and promise to all Canad- ians that pension programs will be initiated at Federal or Prov- incial level.
