Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to see that the benefit payments system is being modernized. That needed to be done.
In fact, according to the Auditor General's 2014 report, the 50-year-old system was leading us straight into a wall. It was unsustainable. It cost a fortune to maintain. It is good that we are moving toward a modern system that ensures that our seniors receive their benefits on time and in the correct amounts. There are 7.7 million Canadians who depend on this system.
We are moving forward and modernizing how benefits are delivered.
