Mr. Speaker, earlier today the Parliamentary Budget Officer reported that there was no valid economic reason to slash old age pensions. Over 50% of OAS recipients live on less than $25,000. Survival of the fittest is bad enough, but cutting pensions to pay for jets and jails goes too far. The Prime Minister needs to fess up and admit that his choices are not in the best interests of Canadians.
What kind of country have we become when government spends more on housing criminals than protecting seniors?
