Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people from Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo, especially before the member for Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon. I suppose it is age before beauty in this case.
I rise to present a petition from 102 people from Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo. They are requesting an increase to OAS payments. They are of the view that a livable pension must be above the poverty line of $25,252 per year. They request assistance in passing legislation as soon as possible.
This petition is directed to the hon. Minister of Finance.
