Good afternoon, Mr. Chair.
Greetings as well to the witnesses, Mr. Séguin and Ms. Newman, and thanks to them for their testimony.
My question is for Mr. Séguin.
We're quite familiar with the AQDR. We're aware of its influence in Quebec, where it operates in virtually all regions, including my own, the Laurentians.
Mr. Séguin, you talked about the survey conducted in 2020. You had the time to tell us about your recommendation that a public investigation for seniors be conducted in Quebec. However, I'd like to hear more about the impoverishment of seniors in your other recommendations and your survey.
As you know, the government has decided to take action and increase old age security benefits for seniors 75 and over starting in 2022. According to the testimony we've heard as members, seniors are still furious. We feel there's no justification for discriminating based on age.
Do you have any recommendations or a specific opinion on this issue?
