“ACER-CART takes strong exception to Dr. Kershaw’s claim that the federal government spends too much money on older Canadians through OAS payments. His false argument states that OAS is “subsidizing affluence” essentially paying benefits for a group of seniors who do not need them. ACER-CART vehemently disagrees with Dr. Kershaw’s argument which misrepresents what life is actually like for older Canadians and shows a tack of respect for their dignity.”
