Mr. Speaker, I support my colleague from Simcoe—Grey.
Events around the world make it clear that our government needs to make responsible decisions to ensure that social programs remain sustainable. That is what our government is doing.
We will make the changes necessary to ensure sustainability for the next generation, while not affecting current recipients. These changes will not affect today's retirees or Canadians who are close to retirement. The facts are undeniable: If changes are not made to the old age security program, it will become unsustainable.
I would like to ask my colleague what will happen to the program if our government does not do anything? Why is it important that we continue to look after our future seniors?
