That is a good question.
I know that you work on the status of women committee. We've heard a lot about the infrastructure money that has been spent in the past, such as on roads and bridges, which are important to municipalities, but also infrastructure spending in social programs. When we look at affordable housing for seniors and at the infrastructure for that, it's important that we focus on social infrastructure. Supporting municipalities is crucial and supporting social infrastructure linked to affordable housing for seniors is also very important. I'm glad to say that we're moving in that direction and it's something that we need to continue, making sure that we advocate on behalf of seniors. Seniors deserve a better quality of life. Seniors deserve a respectable income for retirement so they can live in dignity and participate in society That's the key.
Finally, Mr. Chair, when we look at the seniors today we see that they want to participate, they want to be active, they want to be involved, and they want to contribute back to society. We, as members of Parliament and various organizations, have to find ways to channel that energy and experience and ensure that they support us in our decisions moving forward. As a priority, as a government, we have to balance a lot of different needs, but I strongly believe that we will be a better country if we focus and get our seniors more involved in providing a quality of life for them in retirement.
