Rafferty Seeks Pension Support


Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty is making a last minute push to get his pension bill passed.

He's making a statement in the house today looking for all-party support.

"What I'm asking the other parties to agree to is to open up the scope of C-501 just a little bit," says Rafferty, "to see if we can make some amendments to the bill that will bring enough MPs on board that we can pass this and get something done."

The proposed bill went through committee hearings before Christmas with Conservative MP's wavering on their support.
