Mr. Speaker, it is with pleasure that I table a petition from my constituents in Winnipeg North, indicating very clearly that they believe that OAS, GIS and CPP make up a critical part of Canada's social safety net, in providing for the basic needs of hundreds of thousands of residents of Canada every year. The petitioners are calling upon the government to reinforce the importance of these programs and, in particular, with regard to the old age supplement, that we allow people the ability to retire at age 65, not age 67 as proposed by the government.
In the House of Commons on October 19th, 2012. See this statement in context.
