Thank you for your answer, but that wasn't exactly my question. In your opinion, would it not be a little careless of us to agree to this amendment before it was studied at all phases of the process to ensure that we understand the situation?
The courts often strike down provisions on various grounds, such as being contrary to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In fact, that's precisely what courts do. Our role is to be legislators. If we decide to change the retirement age simply because we think that a court might at some point order such a change, then it seems to me that we're not doing our job.
Don't you think we should be able, in our legislative capacity, to understand why we have ended up with a change to one statute but not another, to ensure that we come to the right decision?
Am I being overly cautious about this?
