Replying to Carlos Leitão (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, talking about seniors, that is exactly what I would like to ask my colleague about, because we do have in Canada the program of old age security and the guaranteed income supplement. Together we are talking about something like $85 billion. Does my colleague think that the new, right Conservatives would probably put an axe to those programs?”

It took Liberal administrations to not only reverse the 65 to 67 but also get an increase to CPP.³ We have also had ongoing support in terms of increases to the GIS and the OAS for our seniors.⁴
