Say no to Old Age Security Bill C-428
We the undersigned do not support the reduction of the residency requirement from 10 years to three years as proposed by Bill C-428. We believe the current requirement of ten years for Canadian citizens residing in Canada is sufficient.
As an aging Canadian society, we need to be able to adequately take care of the needs of our own ageing population. We believe this Bill as proposed will encourage an influx of near aging immigrants that our current pension and health care system can not provide for.
We ask our elected representatives to say NO to Bill C-428
SUMMARY
This enactment amends the Old Age Security Act to reduce from ten years to three years the residency requirement for entitlement to a monthly pension.
SOMMAIRE
Le texte modifie la Loi sur la sécurité de la vieillesse afin de ramener de dix à trois le nombre minimal d’années de résidence requises pour avoir droit à une pension mensuelle.

I have worked forf 40 years and I am still working part-time.
Why should someone from another country, who has been here just 3 years, be able to collect the same amount as I?
I SAY NO TO THIS BILL!

I agree with a good immigration policy but sometimes we go too far in trying to accomodate new arrivals. Our tax dollars are stretched to the limit as is so let's keep the 10 year time frame and let our industrious new arrivals start to carry their share of the tax burden, we have here in Canada, before rewarding their efforts.

It is estimated that reducing the ten-year eligibility requirement to three years would cost over $700 million annually in additional OAS and Guaranteed Income Supplement benefits. Given that the OAS program is funded entirely from general tax revenues this would be costly and place an additional burden on the Canadian taxpayer.
