Do you recall The Liberal Party’s campaign pledging that it would eliminate the Conservative government’s plan to raise the OAS eligibility age to 67 from 65 by 2029?

How do you feel about keeping the age to receive old age security at 65? Jane Brown speaks with CARP’s VP of Advocacy and COO Wanda Morris who weighs in on this very important issue for Zoomers.
