You are still a young man. By the time you reach 71 RRSP are no longer available. You need to transfer the funds to RRIF where minimum annual withdrawals are required.
My wife and I were in the same boat. Since you do not have an employer's pension, I strongly suggest you convert some (or all) RRSP into a RRIF immediately. Withdrawals from RRSP are fully taxable as are RRIF withdrawals except that you are eligible up to a $2,000 deduction (through tax credit) on RRIF income every year. There is no pension deduction when withdrawing from RRSP.
RRIF (pension) income can also be split with spouse if appropriate.
