WHEREAS: 1. The Conservative government has threatened to make changes to the Old Age Security program, and this is a direct attack on the poorest seniors who rely on that money for daily living expenses. 2. On February 2nd 2012 the NDP moved an Opposition Day Motion calling on the House to reject the proposal by the Prime Minister to increase the age of eligibility for Old Age Security, while also calling on the government to take the necessary measures to eliminate poverty among seniors; therefore We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Parliament of Canada to: Maintain funding for the OAS and make the requisite investments in the Guaranteed Income Supplement to lift every senior out of poverty.
