costs more than $46 billion each year and is one of the largest
and most expensive of our federal programs. This is because
everyone over the age of 65 is entitled to the monthly OAS
cheque of $563.74 indexed to inflation, with low income
seniors entitled to additional support from the Guaranteed
Income Supplement starting at age sixty. Some of this pension
is clawed back for higher income retirees. This small monthly
payment is not much help for lower income retirees who
have inadequate savings to supplement it.
Although Canada has an aging population, there are fewer
taxpayers to support the OAS payments. In the 1970s, there
were seven workers for each old age pensioner. Today, there
are roughly four taxpayers for each old age pensioner. In 15
years, the ratio is expected to fall to just 2:1.
This decline in taxpayers available to pay for our social
programs has been exacerbated by unrestricted abortion
which destroys future taxpayers at a rate of over 100,000
each year. They are destroyed mostly for no reason other
than that they are inconvenient to the lives of their parents.
The number of plumbers, carpenters, nurses, lawyers and
physicians in the future who will be paying taxes can no
longer be relied on. They decrease in number each year.
The scale of the problem is so enormous that the
Conservative Government has needed to deal with at least
part of the problem. Its solution was spelled out in the
2012 budget, when it introduced a new policy to take effect
between the years 2023 and 2029, to the effect that the age
of OAS eligibility will increase from 65 to age 67.
This is a helpful policy, but it is also a discouraging policy
for low income Canadians with limited income from other
sources, as they will not be able to receive OAS when they
had anticipated.
Other solutions must be found to this problem of a
declining population. It may be that France has found some
answers to the problem. It has aggressively enacted policies to
support women who want to have children, but who still wish
