As you may know, the Bloc Québécois is particularly concerned about the financial situation of seniors. I'm not saying that it's the only party concerned. I don't want to stigmatize anyone. That said, we know that seniors are becoming poorer. The pandemic has increased costs in terms of groceries, housing and drugs. Some seniors are family caregivers. The cost of getting around has increased as well.
The government decided to help seniors by increasing the old age security pension, but only for people aged 75 and over. In our opinion, it would be fairer to support all seniors by providing this increase to everyone aged 65 and over. What do you think about this?
