Better for Canadians how?
Again, it took pressure off of relatively lower earning people and moved the burden to those who can better afford it.
But he can't pay for it. Anyone can give out money if they don't have to account for it through revenues. And the GIS is still based on your income, with no asset test, so seniors still living in a house can mooch off the fed while seniors who downsize responsibly get nothing for their sacrifice.
Income testing is far more valuable than means testing when you're actually trying to keep people fed and housed. Canada has no problem paying for its government programs.
What changes? More money he can't pay for?
The CPP is self funding. It's a gradual increase in premiums and payments to reduce pressure on general revenues and keep seniors out of poverty.
