Mr. Speaker, yesterday we celebrated Mother's Day. I marked the occasion with a number of mothers who live in one of the many seniors' homes in my riding.
Although we were all celebrating the day, a number of the mothers were worried about their future. They told me they were worried about what the government has in store for them. With regard to pensions, more than 30% of these retired mothers are in debt and 40% of them will soon go into debt. Their access to health care and medications is increasingly in jeopardy.
On top of that, as I just mentioned, there is the bill introduced by the Minister of State for Democratic Reform.
The mothers were happy, and I hope that they will be for a long time. Happy Mother's Day.
