Thank you very much, Chair.

Thanks to all of you for your insight and advice here today.

One of the things I hear most often from seniors in my riding of Thornhill is a request that the age of mandatory withdrawal from RRIFs be raised significantly. Some folks say, why not raise it to 75? Others, who are still capable of working and are still generating income, say that because they have prepared for their retirement...and they recognize that it has been notched up somewhat to 71.

I wonder if all of you could offer a comment on that particular aspect.
