In response to the question about TFSAs, there were no changes announced in yesterday’s budget, so status quo for now in terms of contribution amounts.

Leigh, can you answer M Tremblant’s question: How is the pooled pension plan going to work for people such as I working for a small company with no pension plan available?

I dislike moving you personal exemptions for travel from $50 to $200 and from $400 to $800…it makes my job a little more dull…

So far the government has been very short on details with respect to pooled pension plans. They were mentioned again in the budget, but again no specifics. I think it is still a waiting game to see how these will come into action.

Do you think the cuts to the civil service should have gone further to many people making big money doing nothing?

I’d like to pose a question to Susan: Is the ability to defer OAS for 5 years helpful to most seniors?
