CTF says feds moving election date for MP pensions

The Trudeau government wants to pass legislation moving the date of our next federal election. Instead of October 20th, 2025 it would be October 27th or a week later. Some say the reason is that by moving the date by seven days, 80 more MPs would qualify for their pensions at the expense of the taxpayer. To talk about this in more detail is the federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, Franco Terrazzano, who joined BCN’s Hal Roberts from Ottawa.

Hal Roberts

Hal is a veteran journalist with 30 years in the industry. He worked as a parliamentary reporter on the Hill interviewing federal leaders and cabinet ministers. Hal also covered the Ottawa terrorist attack in 2014, and has worked as an anchor/reporter in Toronto, Peterborough and Calgary. He worked as a reporter and anchor for business shows airing on BNN, Global and CHCH-TV. During his 10 year radio career he hosted a show called Roberts on the Road on KG Country. Hal was blessed to win a few awards in his career including one as senior producer for a TV show on human trafficking which aired on CTS.
