In a nutshell, absolutely not.
Old age security was designed to help seniors, those people who built our great country, ensure that they have a certain standard of living in their golden years. It's there to make sure that they have a place to live, that they can afford that, and that they can afford to put food on the table for themselves. It's to take care of their immediate benefits.
It was never designed as a savings plan. It is income tested. Once individuals reach certain plateaus, then the amount of OAS they receive is reduced, because they obviously have the ability to meet those basic needs of food and shelter.
Prisoners are likewise already receiving those benefits, courtesy of the taxpayers.
So, no, it was never intended as a savings plan. It was never intended as a rehabilitation program. Its sole purpose in law is to support the needs of our seniors, to make sure they have an adequate living level.
