Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also want to thank Ms. Mackenzie.
I want to acknowledge in particular the Coalition pour la dignité des aînés. In Quebec, the six member groups of this coalition are making a big difference in the lives of our seniors, and their influence extends beyond the people whom they represent.
Thank you for being here.
My first question is for the coalition representatives who want to answer it.
You quite clearly stated what steps the federal government must take with regard to the increase in the old age security pension and the guaranteed income supplement. People must be able to access these benefits at the age of 65, because they already have needs at that age. The Bloc Québécois agrees with this idea.
However, in addition to these enhancements, what concrete and direct steps can we take to improve the financial situation of seniors? Do you have any other examples to share?
