MP's pension raises question of parity

Re: "Savoie exits federal politics," Aug. 24. Victoria MP Denise Savoie's pension after six years in Ottawa will be $33,180 per year. Mine, after 40-plus years in a trade union (yes, the ones that support her), is approximately $13,200.

Am I the only one who finds a discrepancy here?
