Mr. Speaker, in 2012, the Conservative prime minister travelled to the World Economic Forum in Davos to announce the plan to raise the retirement age to 67. The Conservative plan, supported by the Leader of the Opposition, would have taken away OAS from one million Canadian seniors who turn 65 this year.
Can the minister of seniors share how the government has defended Canadians' right to retire at 65 and what further supports for seniors are at risk of Conservative cuts?
