May I amend that to say that modernization is going on constantly? It is terrible how we have debased the currency of the word "reform".
I want to point out to the hon. member that we have brought in legislation in the past in the House that makes it substantially easier for pensioners to get their pensions without reapplying. We have changed the delivery system so they can now get half-day service when service used to take 13 or 14 days previously. All along we have been making very significant and important changes for seniors. I announced just today that based on the quarterly review we have increased the seniors pension by $2.35 beginning today.
