Mr. Speaker, you know how proud I am to represent the riding of Trois-Rivières, which is largely made up of seniors.
Hundreds of these individuals signed a petition proposed to them by the leaders of the Association québécoise de défense des droits des personnes retraitées et préretraitées. They are calling on the government to do more about old age security and the guaranteed income supplement so that seniors, who contributed to the development of this country, no longer have to live below the poverty line.
I am pleased to join with them and support their petition.
