Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Alfred-Pellan for his speech. He was, moreover, the sponsor of the motion the Conservatives supported when in opposition.
In response to his question, raising the income provided to our seniors would be of great help to their situation. We know that many seniors are having to make a choice between paying for food or paying for medicine. This can end up costing the state more because it will have to look after seniors who have become sicker than necessary because they cannot afford to buy their medicines.
I, and all of my colleagues in the Bloc Québécois, want to see our seniors live in dignity. That is why I am calling upon all of my colleagues here in the House of Commons to support my motion.
