Mr. Chair, I really do not have a question but I do have some comments. Maybe the Minister of State for Seniors could comment.
I heard something tonight that was rather disturbing. A while ago I heard the Minister of Finance say that the Liberals and the NDP are obsessed with thinking there are two classes of Canadians. That is quite the statement to make.
Then I heard the Minister of State for Seniors say that seniors have the support they need. Well, a $1.50 raise in their pension is not the support they need.
Then she went on to quote, I believe it was Dr. Butler-Jones, who said that people are aging well and that they are coping well. In reality, they are aging in poverty.
I would ask the Minister of State for Seniors, the next time she runs into Dr. Butler-Jones and the Minister of Finance, to grab them by the hand, get away from Bay Street and take a walk on Main Street, Canada. They will see two classes of people, and they will see seniors living in poverty.
