Human Resources committee  Almost, yes.

Human Resources committee  It is.

Human Resources committee  It's everything.

Human Resources committee  For me, $200 million is very high. I don't even know how to write $200 million.

Human Resources committee  They should increase the pension by at least $200 a month.

Human Resources committee  What choice do I have? I don't have any choice. If I want to live, I have to sell the house to eat.

Human Resources committee  There is nothing I can do about it, unless I go and rob a bank.

Human Resources committee  No, I wouldn't do that. Absolutely not, but—

Human Resources committee  I'll give you an example. Two weeks ago we went shopping at No Frills. That's the store we shop at. Also, there is another one, Food Basics. We get a little bit here and a little bit there—always on special. There was canary melon, and the price was $6.99. My wife said that we will go to the other store, where they usually sell them for $5.99.

Human Resources committee  I didn't buy it.

Human Resources committee  I always find a way to manage everything. Maybe I'm lucky, in a way, that I have a wife who is inventive.

Human Resources committee  She makes her own bread and her own pasta. We save money.

Human Resources committee  Yes, sir.

Human Resources committee  Good morning, honourable members of the House of Commons. Thank you for inviting me to participate in these hearings. My name is Ben Catenaccio. I'm appearing here as an individual. I am a 78-year-old senior who came to Canada from Italy in 1967 at the age of 22, looking for a better life.

Human Resources committee  I can't hear you.
