Mr. Chair, the member is absolutely right: our seniors took care of younger generations and shaped this nation as we know it, so we must take care of them. By investing in seniors, we are investing in everyone's well-being, in the well-being of their children and grandchildren.
I would just like to take a moment to go over what we have done in recent years. We brought the federal pension eligibility age back down to 65. If we had not done that, 100,000 seniors would be living in poverty. We also increased the guaranteed income supplement by nearly $1,000, which is helping 900,000 seniors.
We also invested in the Canada Pension Plan and the Quebec Pension Plan, which will put a significant dent in seniors' post-retirement vulnerability. We also invested $55 billion over 10 years in housing. Lastly, we invested $11 billion in health care, along with the $6 billion promised during the campaign. We have done a lot.
I see that my time is up, but I would be happy to answer more questions about this.
