Mr. Speaker, I am very grateful to our colleague for this opportunity to express how proud we are of our record of helping seniors.
Last year we put into place a measure which is taking 13,000 seniors out of poverty, 90% of whom are women, through an increase in the guaranteed income supplement of up to $1,000 per year. We are also investing significantly in housing, health care, and support in communities to help our seniors live in a dignified and secure environment.
