How do you feel about the fact that GIS benefits were not paid retroactively to seniors who in the past neglected to apply for them, either because they were uninformed or because the system was too complex?
No doubt you're aware of this problem, which was resolved in part as a result of some lobbying on the part of the Bloc Québécois. The fact remains that some seniors cannot claim amounts not received over a period of many years because the current legislation only provides for an 11-month period of retroactivity.
Do you support our efforts to obtain full retroactivity for these seniors?
