Mr. Speaker, in introducing policy, there is always the devil in the details, and one of those details is my Aunt Collen who lives in Cape Breton. She is a widow on a fixed income. The things that she worries about are the cost of her power, how much it costs to fill her tank, and ultimately how much her food costs.
Therefore, when she heard about yesterday's announcement on everything going up, her natural concern to me was, “What's going to happen”, because this is what it means. It is about her dignity. It is about her independence. It is about her quality of life.
What does the minister have to say to give Collen comfort on these things, which are very real?
