Bill C-12, An Act to amend the Old Age Security Act (Guaranteed Income Supplement)

Second Reading.

Vote

Yea.

Rationale

The Old Age Security Act will be amended to exclude any income received under COVID-19 emergency supports including CERB from calculation of the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and Allowance payable. This ensures that our seniors are protected and their income shielded from deductions based on pandemic support they needed.

Result

Passed.
