I just note at the beginning that I'll be sharing half my time with Ms. Yelich.
I have three questions I would like you touch upon as much as possible in about three and a half minutes.
One, how do Canada's public pension program and income-tested benefits compare to other countries in the world?
Two, what was the reasoning behind these amendments, and did seniors lead the charge on this?
And three, if these amendments came from seniors themselves, how would seniors and stakeholders feel, in your impression, if this bill were stalled or not passed immediately?
