Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First off, I'd like to thank my colleague from Chatham-Kent—Essex for introducing this legislation and a common sense amendment to this piece of legislation. If you don't mind, I do have a couple of questions about the background to the bill.
You mentioned in your previous answer to the opposition member's question background to CPP and OAS and what the evolution of this legislation is. Could you expand a little bit on that and talk about the background of the OAS, and how it came about that you chose this bill and chose to make this the emphasis of your private member's legislation.
