When we speak of people's parents and grandparents, we're already looking at an older age. They have lived and built up another society, then they move to Canada and are now entitled to the same benefits as someone who has worked and helped to build this society. We don't have a system where, if you move here after the age of 60, you pay insurance. I believe now it's coming in with the visas, but if you come here as a permanent resident and become a citizen, what have you paid to help build the system that you're now able to access at the same level as someone else who has helped to build the system?
