As the media have reported, we are trying hard to make the point that more must be done for seniors, for those who built our society, for our wise elders. Seniors say that the guaranteed income supplement sure doesn't cover Internet access.
This government promised a 10% increase but hasn't yet followed through. We talked about that when I appeared before this committee in February. Seniors are feeling left behind during the pandemic. As you know, Mr. Julian, there are desperate needs. The Réseau FADOQ would very much like to see measures for seniors. We would like the government to think of them. They are isolated, and this isn't an easy time for them.
We hope you will listen to this appeal on behalf of all seniors because many of them receive the guaranteed income supplement.
