Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the hon. member a question about the change in the age of eligibility for retirement from 65 to 67.
This decision affects our health care programs. We know that, right now, health care programs in the provinces are really stretched to the limit. Some are running deficits and having problems. We are talking about an increase in the age of eligibility for retirement from 65 to 67. People will have to work longer. This can result in workplace accidents and more claims being filed with insurance companies.
I would like the hon. member to elaborate a little more on the impact that these decisions will have on the economy.
