Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her speech and the way she mapped out the realities for seniors in Canada today.
Sometimes I wonder if the members opposite live in a Pleasantville world where seniors have all sorts of disposable cash to shoot around and therefore we can bump up the eligibility for OAS.
We have a serious issue in Canada around affordability, but we also have a serious issue with the current government, which cannot seem to get its fiscal issues together.
My hon. colleague has mapped out and provided economic reasons as to why this plan absolutely does not make sense. For a modest increase in premiums, we could double CPP.
Could my hon. colleague could give us a sense of some alternatives to what has been proposed here?
