What I would say to any senior who is in deep financial stress as a result of their OAS benefits beginning is to reach out to Service Canada immediately. We have special teams that can help on those urgent cases, and we can get a resolution within 24 to 48 hours.
There's no reason for a senior to suffer in silence. Please reach out to Service Canada. Certainly forward me the names of individuals, if you have them in your constituencies. There is a number for Service Canada to specifically deal with people who need urgent care with beginning their OAS benefits.
