Mr. Speaker, the member opposite mentioned that this vow concerned them. It concerns us as well, which is why we need and must do something to protect OAS.
My constituents in London North Centre understand that we must do something now in to ensure that Canadians will be able to collect in future years.
“The fact of the matter is Canadians are getting older. Demands on the system are getting greater. The costs are going up”. That is from Patricia Croft, economist, The Bottom Line, CBC The National.

Could the member opposite indicate why he refuses to look at simple demographics and understand what is going on?
