Speaking of poverty, I have a lot of seniors in my riding and obviously the cost of everything is going up—gas, groceries and heating—and people can't always afford all of those.

I wanted to ask about the policy that awarded increases to seniors over the age of 75 but excluded those between 65 and 75.

Is there a possibility that the government would reverse that policy in recognition that inflation is hitting all of the people who are on a fixed income equally?
