Very poorly. First of all, people who themselves, despite the assurances.... Our members tend to be over 50, and most of them would not be specifically affected themselves because of the transition period. Nonetheless, the response rejection of that change was about 80%.
When you drill down a bit to ask them why that is so, given that they themselves would not actually suffer the penalty, they said it was “because it's something we paid for in our taxes”. They see it as part of the social safety net, as part of Canadian values. They talk about it as “my pension”. It wasn't something they accepted as a necessary change. Certainly, they didn't find persuasive the argument that it was necessary to balance the books.
Our current position on that score, by the way, is that they have asked us more than once to say, “Get that decision reversed, and until you get it reversed, make sure that anybody who can't wait those two years is looked after.”
