| Message | How so? In the current scheme if someone does'nt save up and they retire they basically go on welfare and thusly consume more tax money from everyone overall. Under the proposed system an amount would be taken out and put in it so that when they retire they don't become strains on the welfare system. |

| Message | The CP agrees with the DSP. A compulsory system helps people manage their funds for retirement. OOC: System we have in Quebec. Minimal pension system (~$1,200 per month) and then the company pension - the motherload =) |
