There's is not a gold-plated pension, but the kind of pension ALL employers should be providing their employees.

If you want to talk about gold-plated, you're talking about the ones your MPs and Senators are getting (which are NOT the same as those of true public servants) - the ones that are so good and so solidly underwritten by us taxpayers that these same MPs and Senators could not care less about the plight of Sears or Nortel employees.
