Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank everybody for being here today.
In my riding I have many seniors who are part of the shelterless community, many as a result of complex mental health and trauma issues resulting, for example, from being a veteran and from the PTSD that comes from experiencing war. Others are the many residential school survivors who are currently now shelterless.
This is disgusting, particularly for seniors, who we always say should be able to live with dignity and human rights.
Has your department explored ensuring an increase in the GIS benefit to a livable level so that all seniors, no matter where they're from, can live with dignity and human rights?
