Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank our three guests for giving very interesting presentations.
My first question is for Ms. Mayo who is in Hamilton.
I would like to follow up on your conclusion. The issue of increasing the eligibility age for Old Age Security benefits is of great interest to us. The Conservative government tells us that since the announcement was made far in advance, people will have the time to prepare.
However, in my riding, a number of people earn minimum wage or $12 an hour. They won't be able to invest $2,000 a year in their RRSP. We are pleased when people choose to work longer, but we are not so pleased to see them being forced to do so. What kind of impact do you think this will have on your environment, especially on the health of those people who will be forced to work two years longer?
