I do not know whether you have ever gone to the long-term care home for the aged on rue Chénier in Saint-Eustache. About three to four percent of the seniors who live there are veterans who are receiving benefits from the Quebec system.
You can also visit the second house down from my office, where eight veterans live. That will give you an opportunity to come and meet with me. That house does not cost the Canadian government or the Legion a cent. Those veterans are looked after by Quebec's long-term care system. No money is transferred. I have verified this, my dear friend. Talk to Mr. Paquette, the director of the home, about that.
What is done for veterans is fine, but there are other seniors living in hardship. Seniors are the poorest citizens of Canada, and unfortunately they get even poorer when one spouse in a couple dies.
