I want to reiterate what I said earlier. The government must do everything it can to raise the income levels of the poorest seniors. Tax measures and the GIS are the keys to putting better supports in place, and that needs to happen quickly. As the cost of living increases and incomes decrease, things are only getting worse. Benefits are not fully indexed to take into account rising costs. Society as a whole is gradually becoming poorer. With other segments of the population gradually heading towards financial insecurity, they will find themselves in the same boat as the most vulnerable members of society today.
It's important to take action quickly, to ensure that seniors, those who built our society, have the income they deserve.
