Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present a petition signed by more than 2,000 residents of my riding of Québec-Est and the surrounding area. The petitioners want to bring to the attention of the Parliament the plight of senior citizens in Quebec, denounce the measures recently adopted by the government, namely age credit cuts and the setting up of inhumane devices such as voice mail boxes.
Therefore, the petitioners pray that Parliament will refrain from taking any measures that would reduce their income and make it harder for senior citizens to have access to services designed for them. I wholeheartedly support this petition and I call upon the government to accede to it.
