Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
Yesterday, the minister refused to admit that a document from his department entitled "Serving Canada's Seniors" does indeed show the direction his government intends to follow in restructuring old age security programs.
The government has been saying since its budget of February 1994 that it would table a document unveiling its new approach.
How can the government justify that, after reviewing Canada's old age security program for over 18 months, the human resources minister still claims that he has not yet made a decision on the new direction to be taken? Mr. Speaker, it has been 18 months.
