Mr. Speaker, far too many Canadian seniors reach retirement and find they do not have enough savings to live comfortably.
Public pensions just have not kept pace with rising costs and changing workplaces, leaving seniors struggling to meet their most basic needs, and the situation is just getting worse, yet still the Conservatives refuse calls from the provinces and from millions of Canadians to boost the Canada pension plan.
Why is the minister still blocking action? Does he not agree that all Canadian seniors deserve to retire in dignity?
