Okay.
The estimate that we've heard, just when even looking at key segments, children aged 15 to 19, and including seniors, is $500 billion, with the potential across Canadian programs of amounts as high as $1.4 trillion to run the program if it's initiated. It's surprising to me that none of the panellists have even looked into the costing to the Canadian taxpayer of this program, considering who the minister is.
I know you have to be asked to do that, so I'm not blaming you. To me, it's troubling that we're considering a program and it hasn't even been costed out yet. Anyway, that's just a concern of mine.
I have another question, too. We heard a lot about raising the age of eligibility for OAS from 65 to 67. We knew the cost; that's why we made the changes. It was a significant cost to taxpayers. My parents are seniors and we don't want to impact seniors in a negative way, but we also need to balance the books at the end of the day.
What is the cost per year to the taxpayer of bringing the age of eligibility for OAS back from 67 to 65?
