Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate the hon. member on his excellent presentation this afternoon. Can he comment on the type of work the constituency offices actually do, how the amendments that will be brought forward in Bill C-54 will actually help us as members of Parliament to provide a more effective and efficient service, especially to our retirement constituents? In April we received many calls because of changes the retirement population has to comply with when filling out these applications.
If the hon. member could expand on his experience with his constituency office, the kind of work he does during that time and how these amendments would lend themselves to providing a more effective delivery system to our retirement population.
