Mr. Speaker, I note that, in her statement, my distinguished colleague left out something very important.
Every independent commentator has essentially said that this is not the solution and that the old age security program and the guaranteed income supplement are financially viable.
When I say independent commentators I am not talking about those who want to manage the contributors' money, but truly independent experts: the Superintendent of Financial Services, the Parliamentary Budget Officer and Canada's actuaries.
I am not asking the Conservatives to consult their friends, the corporate welfare bums. I am asking them instead to consult the people who are not financially dependent on their friends. All these experts are saying that there is no problem with old age security and the guaranteed income supplement.
What do the Conservatives make of the fact that these people are telling them that they are entirely wrong?
