I thank Mr. Gaynor for taking the time and effort to appear before the committee, which is appreciated. He brings up quite an interesting point. First, I note that as part of his opening statement, he stated the Government was concerned about increasing life expectancy. I imagine the Government is concerned about the cost of increasing life expectancy. It is a good thing that we are trying to live a bit longer.
