Mr. Speaker, the member focused many of her comments on seniors living in poverty.
Winnipeg North is no different from any other constituency in which there are difficult decisions that many of our seniors have to make. One of the saddest stories is when people have to ask whether they need their meds or food on the kitchen table. There are many grandparents who do not even have the money to buy something nice for a grandchild.
The pension issue is a serious issue. I have had the opportunity to bring forward numerous petitions about guaranteeing and enhancing the CPP, OAS, and GIS.
The Liberal Party supports the motion. The Liberal Party has talked about having a CPP supplement that would be open for individuals who would not normally be able to contribute to CPP, such as a spouse who is out of the workforce for many years. To what degree does she see value in a supplementary program?
