Mr. Speaker, we have no intention of reducing benefits and access to this plan. However, all social programs must be reviewed. That is what the Minister of Human Resources Development is doing.
Studies were conducted in other areas, and the Canada Pension Plan, which is the pension paid to citizens in Canada, needs to be reviewed at this time. It is something we have to do in any case, in preparation for an upcoming meeting with provincial governments, and because programs are dovetailed to a certain extent.
The Minister of Human Resources Development intends to review the whole question, which is very important for the future of seniors in Canada. This government does not favour the status quo. It has the capacity to review all elements of the social policy.
