OTTAWA – As Stephen Harper and Jason Kenney count down the days before exiting federal politics, they can start adding up the several millions of dollars they’re ultimately in line to receive from the parliamentary pension plan. “I have long fought for reform of the MP pension plan,” Kenney said in an emailed statement to the Ottawa Citizen. “The only way I could have avoided participating in the MP pension plan would have been not to run for Parliament. If MPs dedicated to MP pension reform had not run, the plan never would have been reformed. The taxpayers federation believes Harper could lose out on potentially $2 million by having cut back the prime minister’s pension benefits.
