Mr. Speaker, the Reform Party campaigned on consolidating seniors' benefits with a clawback at $54,000. Yesterday we got a new seniors' benefit that combined seniors' benefits effective in 2001. And "2001: a benefits odyssey" cuts the benefits ceiling down to $40,000.
The Liberals howls of rage against an end to universality ring hollow on this pension flip-flop.
Will the minister admit that the seniors' benefit is just a code phrase for the fudge-it budget's assault on the retirement future of Canadians?
