Paul Dewar and New Democrats believe in:

• Maintaining the universality of Old Age Security (OAS) and increasing funding for the Guaranteed Section 3 - Investing in a Canada Where No One is Left Behind 9 Income Supplement (GIS)
• Ensuring automatic eligibility for OAS and GIS recipients to ensure seniors receive the benefits to which they are entitled
• Mandating the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Investment Board to invest a portion of their assets in developing Canadian businesses and in socially responsible enterprise
• Ensuring workers and retirees participate on private pension management boards; and
• Creating an ombudsman for seniors.
