Mr. Speaker, it is becoming increasingly clear that the NDP has never considered the future of our social programs, including old age security.
We are moving from a time when there were seven workers for every pensioner to a time when there will be only two workers for every pensioner. The life expectancy of Canadians is increasing, and we need to reflect that reality, just as all other developed countries have done, by making changes to secure the future of our programs for seniors.
