Mr. Speaker, not in the least, in fact exactly the opposite is true. First, it is taken out of the taxation system for greater independence. Second, I am in the process of restoring total indexing, in other words in future our seniors will not lose money because of inflation. They have now been protected.
This is why the majority of comments from seniors' groups have been most favourable to this reform; they are well aware that it will not only sustain the system but will also be better for women and better for our seniors' dignity.
