I'm 36 years old. I've never seen this in my life. To be completely honest with you, I think we're all living that across the world, frankly, seeing what inflation is doing to retirement incomes and other more fixed incomes as well.
I'll also say that when I was in school doing my master's about 10 years ago, seniors poverty was sort of taught as a victory. We had figured this out. As one of the speakers alluded to, and Mr. Collins also pointed out in his remarks, our seniors poverty rate in Canada, up until fairly recently, was low and going lower. We were a leader in the world in that regard. Unfortunately—I can share some of this data with your office—even looking at one particular town, that of Hamilton, Ontario, where there's been some recent studies done, poverty rates across the board have trickled either down a little bit or stayed flat, but amongst seniors they've started to go up.
What had been a victory not long ago, that scourge of seniors poverty, seems to be surfacing for us again. The cost of living is a large part of it, frankly. If you're living on a fixed income and your grocery bill is orders of magnitude larger this month than it was a year ago, you'll feel that in your fixed income.
