"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3005498\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I would ask my colleague about some of the substance that this House never had a chance to debate or discuss. What are her thoughts on what the minister opposite said, \u201cMore yet to come\u201d?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3005499\" data-originallang=\"en\">In the budget implementation bill, despite the advice of the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the OECD and the old age security actuarial, Mr. Bernard Dussault, that OAS was absolutely sustainable and that there was no reason to raise the age of eligibility for retirement to age 67, the government proceeded to do just that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3005500\" data-originallang=\"en\">We did a little work and looked at what that would mean to our population. We discovered that it would increase poverty among seniors by 28%. It would increase poverty among senior women by 38% and plunge 95,000 more seniors in this country into poverty. That is what the government was planning.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3005501\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Does my hon. colleague think that this next omnibus budget bill will be even worse?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3005498\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais que la d\u00e9put\u00e9e nous en dise plus sur les questions de fond dont la Chambre n'a pas pu d\u00e9battre ou discuter. Que pense-t-elle des propos du ministre qui affirme que ce n'est pas fini?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3005499\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le directeur parlementaire du budget, les repr\u00e9sentants de l'OCDE et l'actuaire de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la vieillesse, Bernard Dussault, ont d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que le programme de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la vieillesse est parfaitement viable et qu'il n'y avait aucune raison de relever l'\u00e2ge de l'admissibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 67 ans, pourtant, c'est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment ce que le gouvernement a fait dans le projet de loi d'ex\u00e9cution du budget.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3005500\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons fait de petits calculs et examin\u00e9 ce que cela repr\u00e9sentera pour la population. Nous avons appris que cette mesure accro\u00eetra la pauvret\u00e9 chez les a\u00een\u00e9s de 28 %. Elle accro\u00eetra celle des femmes \u00e2g\u00e9es de 38 % et plongera 95 000 a\u00een\u00e9s de plus dans la pauvret\u00e9 au Canada. Voil\u00e0 ce que pr\u00e9voyait le gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3005501\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La d\u00e9put\u00e9e croit-elle que le prochain projet de loi omnibus sera encore pire?</p>"
