Mr. Speaker, there are two parts to the answer to that question. The difficulty lies not so much in seniors wanting to retire at age 65, but that it is mandatory that they do so.
The important issue here is that there be flexibility and that no person would be required by law to retire at age 65. If they are healthy and willing to work beyond 65, they should have the opportunity to do so. They should also have the privilege to retire at age 65 if they choose to do that.
The second part of the answer with respect to increasing the mandatory retirement age or the age at which benefits would cut in, that it seems to me came from a meeting at which a Liberal person made a statement somewhere in Ontario. There is nothing in this document that says that we will increase the age requirement of the mandatory retirement age.
