"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2774606\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170396\" href=\"/politicians/sean-casey/\" title=\"Sean Casey\">Charlottetown</a>, for this very important motion today and I would ask him what his understanding is in regard to this change. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2774607\" data-originallang=\"en\">It seems to me that it is a significant change to suggest that the retirement age be increased to age 67 from age 65 because we know that those who live on provincial benefits, those with health problems who are living with the challenges of disability, will lose those benefits at age 65. That means those same people will be without any income from age 65 to 67. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2774608\" data-originallang=\"en\">I wonder if the member for <a data-HoCid=\"170396\" href=\"/politicians/sean-casey/\" title=\"Sean Casey\">Charlottetown</a> has heard any indication that the government consulted with the provinces, talked to them or even the private insurers about this very significant change.</p>",

Ainsi, ces m\u00eames personnes n'auront aucun revenu entre 65 et 67 ans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2774608\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170396\" href=\"/politicians/sean-casey/\" title=\"Sean Casey\">Charlottetown</a> sait-il si le gouvernement a consult\u00e9 les provinces ou les assureurs priv\u00e9s au sujet de cette modification d'importance? </p>"
