Madam Speaker, the hon. member spoke a lot about old age security and the need to sustain different types of benefits for seniors. That is laudable.
What does he have to say about the government spending all kinds of money in areas that actually jeopardize that kind of funding for seniors. I referred in my speech a few moments ago to a $105,000 subsidy that was sent to the Canadian Bankers Association.
The one I did not mention, and my hon. friend opposite will appreciate this, is that for some reason the Canadian Bar Association received $277,000 from the Canadian government as a subsidy.
What does my friend opposite think of those subsidies? Will he be encouraging the government to start cutting back in those areas so that we can preserve social spending for seniors?
