Pensions

Question period turned to problems with the Cúram software system used to pay old age security pensions, which the Bloc Québécois said has left 33,000 seniors without the benefits they are owed, despite warnings about the system raised more than a year and a half earlier. The Liberals said the modernized system delivers payments on time and reliably to millions of seniors, and that the backlog is going down each month as errors are corrected; one minister noted the old system had put benefits at risk. The Bloc pressed the government to pay the affected seniors what they are owed.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
