Pension Protection Bill Introduced

A private members bill aimed at securing the pensions of AbitibiBowater employees has been introduced in the House of Commons.

Thunder-Bay Rainy River M.P. John Rafferty says the bill would make changes to the Bankruptcy Act to giving pensions priority over other creditors.

Rafferty says he's hoping for all-party support for his bill.

Rafferty says his goal is to get the bill through the House of Commons before the end of the current sitting in June.
