Mr. Chair, we have already heard that answer several times, even though the House has just begun sitting. We will therefore continue to ask the government for an increase in health care funding. When they tell us the numbers, the absolute value amounts, it seems like a lot, but a great deal of funding is needed. Almost half of the Quebec government's budget goes to health. The provinces are asking for an increase of 5.2%.
Help for seniors is one area where our electoral commitments overlap. Our seniors have felt abandoned over the past few years. Support from the government has failed to keep pace with the rise in the cost of living. Think of the cost of housing in seniors' residences. The government promised to increase old age security payments.
I humbly ask him why not as of age 65?
