Madam Chair, the parliamentary secretary talked about the difference between the increase in CPP and QPP and the proposal for a supplemental CPP and he pretty well discounted that. I note recently that Professor Kesselman and Jack Mintz also reached the same conclusions.
We have had discussions on the bankruptcy and insolvency, Companies' Creditors Arrangements Act, CCAA, situation of Nortel, AbitibiBowater and others. In all the dialogue we have had on those issues, there is a more immediate one which is the seniors in poverty that we keep discussing in this place. Does the government have any plans to increase old age security and GIS in the foreseeable future to help people who are in this severe situation?
