Minister, part of the “make Canada great again” agenda is to fix the budget. You've seen the bumper stickers out there. As we know, I think a big part of that is going to be cuts to social programs.
You listed in your opening statement many of the programs our government has implemented to help seniors. Many of the affordable housing programs we have, which are a first in 30 years, go a long way to getting seniors off the affordable housing wait-lists in many communities across the country. You talked about reinstating the age of retirement from 67 to 65; of course, the Leader of the Opposition was a part of that process in cutting support for seniors. Then you talked about the dental plan that's gone a long way to assist seniors with improvements in that area.
The Leader of the Opposition hasn't been very clear about what social programs he would cut if he were to become Prime Minister, but I think we have a sneaking suspicion of what that list would include, that it would probably include almost everything you rhymed off at the beginning of the meeting.
Can you talk about what a Conservative government would do to the programs that we've implemented not just for seniors but for Canadian taxpayers across the country?
