The deputies of the socialist group intend to create a commission of inquiry on the "sincerity" of the impact study which accompanies the project of reform of the pensions, indicated this Monday one of their spokesmen Boris Vallaud. According to him, the debates in the special committee did not raise "doubts".

"Today we are using our drawing rights to request a commission of inquiry into the impact study", a thousand-page analysis document that accompanies the reform, said the deputy from the Landes, during the examination of the government's project in committee.

Unresolved doubts

Each group has such a “drawing right” (once per group and per session) to create a commission of inquiry.

“Since the start of the examination of the pension law, the sincerity of the impact study has raised questions or at least a certain number of doubts (…). We hoped that the special committee would be an opportunity to remove a certain number of doubts "and" it is clear that this was not the case, "continued the deputy on the eighth day of debates in committee.

Lack of information

"We are questioning the government, we are questioning the rapporteur for further details on the economic, budgetary, financial and social consequences of their reform (…) we note that the necessary information has not been provided", he insisted .

The Communist deputy Pierre Dharréville judged in the tread "very useful that we know more about this impact study and to see if it is in conformity with what one is entitled to expect". "Too bad it is not suspensive," he added.

Do not confuse speed and precipitation

The PS motion for a resolution, which is being registered by the Assembly according to the group, provides that the committee of inquiry will focus on "the sincerity, completeness and accuracy" of the impact study.

The elected socialists criticize in particular "the haste and the haste" which "characterize the conditions of examination" of the reform, based on the opinion of the Council of State which itself pointed out "incomplete" financial projections.

They claim that "the establishment of a commission of inquiry into provisions under consideration in Parliament would not constitute a novation" because the Senate had created a commission of inquiry on the 35 hours in December 1997 "the day after the tabling of the bill on the reduction of the legal weekly working hours".
