Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Let me start with a brief preamble by saying that fear is a very bad counsellor. So I hope I won't scare you with my questions, but I'm very happy that we can scare you a little.
My question is about the government's stated intention in its budget to increase the old age security at age 75 starting in 2022.
Do you recognize that the old age security pension and the guaranteed income supplement make up the first pillar of Canada's retirement income system?
