However, many seniors are being left behind, Minister. As you know, a large percentage of seniors rely solely on their old age security pension starting at age 65. However, that income is completely insufficient to cope with the current cost of living.
So this is an important bill for us because it seeks to address this inequity. It is important to be able to buy a dental prosthesis, but it is even more important to have a decent income so that you can live out your retirement and your old age with dignity and security.
Thank you, Minister.
