Thank you so much.
I'd like to thank both Laura and Miranda for their testimony.
I find it abhorrent how seniors in this country are treated and that so many seniors here live in poverty. It's why I have been pushing for a guaranteed livable basic income. I know the current government has announced increasing OAS rates when seniors are 75, but that's unacceptable to me. It should occur way before then to make sure that all seniors in this country can live in dignity, something that your testimony has clearly confirmed is not happening.
I want you to expand on some of your comments.
My first question is for Laura.
In your testimony, you mentioned the need for a federal seniors advocate. Could you expand on that?
