Mr. Speaker, CARP, an organization representing over 400,000 seniors, has recently sent a letter to the Minister of Finance regarding his mishandling of income trusts. This letter states that Canadian seniors are enraged, frightened and panicked, not supportive as the minister may suggest.
In the letter from CARP one senior states:
Many seniors have been hurt by the uncertainty caused by the government’s insensitive handling of the Income Trust situation.
Another senior writes:
The government has taken the solid platform from under our feet and replaced it with an open shaft.
When will the minister stop giving the shaft to Canadian seniors?
