Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I have the honour to table a petition signed by close to 1,500 residents from my riding of Chicoutimi and the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region.
The petitioners oppose the repeated attacks on retired people's income, and they ask Parliament to reject any measure which would adversely affect retired people's income. In Quebec, over 52 per cent of the retired population is already living below the poverty level.
I fully support that petition and I urge the government to follow up on it.
