Thank you, Chair. I do take issue with that. I am a respectful member of this committee.
I'm sorry that my questions seem to be difficult.
My question is on the cost of living. The cost of living is increasing. These seniors are on fixed incomes, and your government has created more pressure by creating two tiers of seniors—some who get a boost and others who don't. It's basically saying, “You're having a harder time than you're having, so because you fall in this category, you get more money.” In reality, because of the cost of living—especially because they're on fixed incomes and they don't have more income coming in—they have to go back to work in order to not live on the streets and in order to pay for medication and put food on the table.
We heard from my colleague Ms. Roberts how there are seniors taking in students, for example, so that they can have a place to live.
Why do you and your government support a high-tax and high-spend agenda?
