2:00- Candice Malcolm, Ontario Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation, Re: Tim Hudak believes that the Liberals should phase in a higher retirement age for public sector workers and change the defined benefit plans to a contribution pension plan.

Hudak also believes that the gap between what’s been promised and what’s available under the defined benefit plans keeps getting wider.
