On Friday February 25, 2022, ISAC’s Senior Policy Analyst Devorah Kobluk appeared as a witness before the Senate Standing Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology to speak to Bill C-12, An Act to amend the Old Age Security Act (Guaranteed Income Supplement).
On behalf of ISAC, Devorah urged the Committee to pass Bill C-12 without delay, in order to ensure that seniors are never again subject to the impacts of interactions between regular benefits and pandemic benefits, as experienced during the 2021-2022 benefit year.
