Members of Parliament, I'm sure that seniors under the age of 74 in your constituencies are coming to tell you that they're living below the poverty line, which is less than $22,000 a year. These people are struggling to pay rent, buy groceries and so on.
If the government really wants to save money, and we can see that it does, perhaps it could review the maximum eligibility threshold for old age security.
Should a person who earns between $120,000 and $130,000 a year be just as entitled to receive old age security as a person who earns less than $22,000?
This issue requires serious consideration, and the government could devote more attention to it.
