Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

This is a preliminary record, please consult the linked accession. Sub-series consists of letters, post cards, news clippings and form letters received by Jake Epp, then Minister of National Health and Welfare, from members of the general public protesting the move to de-index the OAS pensions. Many of the letters are attached to a form letter reply from the Minister's office. On 23 May 1985, the federal government brought down a budget which proposed the de-indexing of Old Age Security pensions. After a strong protest campaign from senior citizens and their supporters across Canada, Finance Minister Michael Wilson announced on 27 June 1985 that the Old Age Security Pension would remain fully indexed to increase in the Consumer Price Index.
