Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to go through these quickly because my time is limited.
Minister, I have spoken to a senior, Sonia, from Winnipeg, and I was very emotionally touched by her story.
Her story is that the carbon tax increase is going to triple her fees. This she cannot afford. She is currently living from overdraft to overdraft. She has maxed out her Visa card. She has maxed out her line of credit. She can't even afford to go to the grocery store because she can't afford to put the gas in the car. She cancelled her doctor's appointments because she can't afford to drive there. I try to listen to these seniors and I can't help but get emotional.
Can you explain to me how a single senior is telling me that the benefits you're putting forward are not helping her with the cost of living? Your government is failing on this account. Do you have an explanation for that?
