Ruby – Alleged Wicked Witch of Nannies
So the Alleged Wicked Witch of Nannies has a wonderful proposal- as per Liberal Principles – you pay – they collect votes -
If you sponsor your parents for immigration to Canada they will be able to qualify for Old Age Security after residing in the country for 3 years – The other countries that Dear Ruby refers to have signed agreements with Canada – These other countries do not-
My opinion – This is total BS – You sponsor then you support until they have reached the 10 year residency requirement –

Old Age Security Act
Ms. Ruby Dhalla (Brampton—Springdale, Lib.):
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-428, An Act to amend the Old Age Security Act (residency requirement).
She said: Mr. Speaker, it is with great honour and pleasure that I introduce a bill to amend the Old Age Security Act, the residency requirement, with the support of the member for Toronto Centre.
This bill seeks to increase support to immigrant seniors and erase an inequality and discrimination that exists among seniors coming to Canada from certain countries, like China, the Caribbean, India, Africa and South America. Immigrant seniors from these countries have to wait 10 years for their old age security benefits versus three years for seniors from other countries.
The bill being brought forward today in this House is the result of the hard work of thousands of seniors across this country and organizations like the Old Age Benefits Forum and the Chinese Canadian National Council, which have advocated in the interest of fairness and equality.
This bill would help reduce the economic vulnerability that is faced by immigrant seniors and would ensure that all seniors, regardless of their country of origin, are treated as equals in Canada.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
