Thank you, Madam Chair.
I echo the concerns by the previous speaker on our side. Probably he has already brought the attention that instead of giving the ownership to Corrections Canada, which will be dealt with later on, it's up to the individual now. And if it's not clear enough, those few words would really clarify.
Also, this bill would have to be seen as very fair to those law-abiding citizens who are also applying for OAS, whether they have any additional help or not.
Am I right to say that in common practice, the law-abiding citizen, a senior who is eligible for OAS, still has to write to the ministry? It doesn't come automatically. Am I right to say that?
