Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Solicitor General.
I have in my possession lists of prisoners in federal penitentiaries that are receiving old age security, Canada pension plan and GST rebates. Among these lists are murderers, rapists and thieves that get room and board, education and recreational facilities in addition to old age security.
These are better benefits than many senior citizens are receiving. Could the Solicitor General explain to Canadians, in particular the senior citizens of our country, why in the world the government treats criminals better than our senior citizens?
