Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present a petition today that was signed by my constituents in Sherbrooke. They are calling on the House of Commons to change the name of the old age security program to use respectful language that better reflects the values of our government, such as “seniors' pension” or “seniors' pension program”. Being 65 years old is no longer associated with the term “old age”. I thank the people of Sherbrooke for their dedication to this issue.
In the House of Commons on February 9th, 2022. See this statement in context.
