Madam Speaker, these petitioners are from all walks of life and of all ages. They point out that seniors have contributed and continue to contribute to the quality of life of Canadians.
There are growing numbers of seniors. Programs such as pensions and health care will experience additional growing
demand. Seniors need comfortable housing, social and community involvement as well as affordable medical care.
These petitioners ask that when governments consider changes to programs that they do not forget the contributions of seniors to our country and to our quality of life.
