Mr. Speaker, today, I have three petitions from Edmonton residents.
Two of the petitions are calling for increases in the Canada pension and Quebec pension. The petitioners are concerned that retirement security is one of the most pressing issues facing Canadians, but the cuts to OAS slashed $11 billion from seniors, who are now required to wait until they are 67 years old.
They are calling on the government to expand CPP and QPP and to restore the OAS entitlement to 65.
