Mr. Speaker, today, workers from Huntingdon and Montmagny are on the Hill to demand an income support program for older workers.
Through an amendment, the Bloc Québécois forced the government to add to the throne speech a mention of the importance of setting up such an assistance program.
In the budget, the government indicated its intention to create such a program. The Minister of Human Resources and Social Development recently said that she was studying the matter. Today, it is high time to move from talk to action.
Will the Prime Minister finally decide to act and create an income support program for older workers, who have long been calling for such a program?
