All right.
Minister, obviously it boils my blood to hear you laughing.
Some 48,000 seniors have been waiting eight or nine months for their benefits, struggling to pay their rent and buy groceries. Service Canada employees—I've spoken to some of them on the phone—are ready to provide answers and offer up solutions. Meanwhile, the minister is laughing.
I'm talking about our seniors, Minister, the people who built this country, people who've paid taxes their whole lives. The minister finds this funny. I'm sorry to say, but that is unworthy of the office you hold. You should be bigger than that. You should show leadership and take charge of the matter.
Again, I'm offering my help, Minister. Let's meet with the people who are calling me, let's meet with your employees.
