Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Mulroney government partially de-indexed the Old Age Security from cost-of-living increases, meaning that seniors would receive less money over time to adjust for inflation. This was a way to reduce governmental support of seniors. The other options listed, decreasing the age of mandatory retirement, eliminating the Guaranteed Income Supplement, and reducing eligibility for the spouse's allowance, would have also impacted governmental support of seniors, but they are not actions taken by the Mulroney government.
