Mr. Speaker, I appreciate being provided with a second opportunity to present petitions.
I have a petition from residents of Vancouver Quadra, who consider it urgent that the government change its plans to delay retirement age by two years. They point out that four in ten OAS recipients earn less than $20,000 a year in retirement, so that these changes would fall most heavily on the lowest-income Canadians, especially single women.
The undersigned call on the Prime Minister and Parliament to maintain the current age for receipt of old age security.
