It is incumbent upon each of us to improve spending and savings practices to ensure our own individual financial security and preserve the collective economic well-being of our great society.

It's hard to exaggerate the importance of preserving the financial integrity of Social Security.

It would be naive to imagine we have solved all our income security problems simply because the roles of the federal and provincial governments in the area of skills training have been clarified.

I am dedicated to making sure Social Security will be there for future generations and have written legislation to strengthen the program.

Social Security must be preserved and strengthened. But we need to be candid about the costs and willing to make the tough choices that real reform will require.

But there is a need to explore ways we can preserve the promise of Social Security for future generations.

We must work to stabilize Social Security. We must not gamble with our nation's social insurance program, one of our most popular and effective federal programs that has remained dependable and stable for the past 70 years.

I agree that we must expand opportunities for retirement saving, but we must not undermine this worthy effort with a flawed privatization scheme that takes the 'security' out of Social Security.

We will keep the promise of Social Security by taking the responsible steps to strengthen it - not by turning it over to Wall Street.

Certainly Social Security needs to be reformed.
