It will in Quebec likely. I bet it will be included in a pre election budget.
Economists question Bloc demand to boost seniors benefits, which carries $16-billion cost
The high price tag does not clearly target financial need and Parliament should carefully consider the trade offs involved, economists say

Old Age Security, or OAS, pays up to $718.33 a month for seniors aged 65 to 74 and is phased out for individuals with income above $142,609. There is also a related benefit for low-income seniors called the Guaranteed Income Supplement, or GIS.
142K seems high to me. Lower that to 100K. And maybe put that +10% into the GIS not OAS.
I don't support any of it, as I don't think the wealthiest age demographic should get a penny of my pay, but I know I am going to lose this. So compromise ?
