Good afternoon. I am here today in my capacity as the Bloc Québécois's critic for seniors.
My questions are for Ms. Tassé-Goodman of the FADOQ.
Ms. Tassé-Goodman, you explained what kind of assistance various groups receive. Billions of dollars have been invested so far, but there have been very few measures for seniors.
You also noted that their expenses have not gone down during the crisis. In some cases, even for those receiving the $2,000, rents are not the same in rural and urban areas. Those costs vary. Groceries cost more too, and people have other services they need to pay for.
Given all that, isn't boosting old age security and the guaranteed income supplement a necessity rather than a luxury? Why aren't the measures implemented so far helping seniors get through this crisis?
