Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate my hon. colleague from Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot on the fine speech she gave concerning our seniors. As she so clearly pointed out, for several years now, the Bloc Québécois has been trying to have this principle recognized, to acknowledge our seniors and ensure they have enough income to live their lives with dignity.
I wonder if the member would not agree that, regardless of everyone's personal opinion, our current economic climate actually presents the perfect opportunity to invest this money in our seniors, who are so deserving of it, in order to stimulate our economy. As we all know, if these people had even the slightest increase in their incomes, they could really benefit from that and spend money in their communities. I would like to know her thoughts on this.
