January 8, 2011 - Special segment on pension reform and a look ahead to life in the Senate in 2011

This week on The House, Kathleen Petty talks to newly promoted Minister of State for Finance Ted Menzies about saving for retirement. We also ask two pension reform experts about the Pooled Registered Pension Plan. Will it take more than that to ensure income security? Plus, with the Conservatives' new majority in the Senate, the CBC's Louise Elliott reports back on her conversation with Senator Marjory Lebreton. Can we expect a more or less partisan Senate in 2011?

Finally, we speak to Bruce Carson about a national energy strategy. It's one interview Canada's new Environment Minister Peter Kent will not want to miss! Both "That's a Good Question" with Kady O'Malley and "Beat The House" are back. Don't forget, you can also follow us on Twitter @CBCTheHouse.
