Mr. Speaker, my question is simple and yet not so simple.
Most seniors who live the longest are women. Many women who receive OAS and GIS benefits were stay-at-home moms first and later stay-at-home grandmothers, although this is not true of all of them, fortunately. Many set their careers aside, so their incomes were substantially reduced, which affected their pensions. Some have part-time jobs to try to make ends meet.
Would it be fair to say that most of the seniors affected by these pension cuts are, once again, women?
