Gov't introduces bill to cut benefits for inmates
The federal government is introducing a bill to cut off Old Age Security and the Federal Income Supplement for inmates that were eligible for these benefits at age 65. They learned this when it was discovered that one of the most brutal murderers in North American history, Clifford Olson, was collecting about $1100 each month while incarcerated. This will save the government about $10 million a year, which could probably be used for victim programs instead.
I'd say this is bill is WAY overdue and should pass. Unless there are some real bleeding-heart pinko MPs in the opposition. Yeah, I know, don't hold your breath.
