Our Liberal plan is focused on giving seniors the retirement they deserve

Our Liberal plan is focused on giving seniors the retirement they deserve

A Liberal government will ensure a secure retirement for Canadians by:

  • Restoring the starting age for Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 67 to 65.
  • Increasing the GIS for single seniors to provide extra support for Canada’s lowest income seniors.
  • Working with the provinces and to enhance the Canadian Pension Plan.
  • Developing a new measure for the cost of living faced by seniors: the Seniors Price Index.
  • Protecting pension income splitting for seniors.
  • Introducing a more flexible and accessible Employment Insurance Compassionate Care Benefit to help Canadians caring for a seriously ill family member, rather than only those caring for a loved one at risk of death.
  • Making new investment in affordable housing and seniors’ facilities a priority.
