Mr. Speaker, we voted against it because it did not get the job done for seniors.
Let me tell the House about a constituent of mine. He receives about $1,000 a month in CPP disability, but this will be slashed when he turns 65, when OAS is supposed to kick in. If he has to wait until he is 67, he will lose close to $600 a month for two full years, and he is not alone. He wants answers and so do all Canadians.
If the government is going to raise the OAS from 65 to 67, we want to know, yes or no?
