Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, an important bill, Bill C‑319, seeks to ensure that everyone 65 or older receiving old age security is treated fairly. The bill would increase the pension amount by 10% to end the unfairness.
The bill would also increase the amount pensioners get to keep in their pockets before their guaranteed income supplement is clawed back. The committee had the pleasure of studying the bill, which had unanimous support.
Do you think it's important that the bill receive a royal recommendation? That is the only step left in restoring fairness for seniors.
