Mr. Speaker, that was not much of an answer. The government is turning its back on Canadian seniors.
The Immigrant Seniors Advocacy Network represents thousands of Canadians. It is telling the government that the restrictions on sponsoring elderly relatives are too tight, that they cannot access old age security, and that without assistance for public transport, seniors are isolated and lonely.
Will the minister listen to the voice of experience and the wisdom that comes with age, and will the government meet directly with our immigrant seniors?
