Mr. Chair, I am sorry that my colleague opposite has such a negative view of life.
In fact, Dr. Butler-Jones is the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada. He has tremendous expertise. His report has been very positive. There are obviously always exceptions, and we want to make sure that we support all Canadians.
If the member had been listening, he would know that the rate of poverty among seniors has fallen dramatically in this country. It is among the lowest in the developed world. Less than 6% of Canadian seniors live in financial need. We continue to address their needs with a number of measures that I have already outlined in my remarks.
Canada is a great country. It is a country that cares about all citizens. It is a country that continues to look for ways, and has a commitment to support every member of society. We will continue to do that. For the member to suggest otherwise is simply unfair to a great country that is doing extremely well and will continue to work hard on behalf of all citizens.
