Mr. Speaker, how could the government write a 223-page economic statement in the midst of a pandemic without mentioning seniors?
This statement does not contain a single measure for seniors, even though they have been hit hardest by the pandemic. It does not mention health transfers, even though Quebec needs money to maintain quality of care. It does not increase pensions to support their purchasing power. It does not even offer a second special payment, even though we know that the pandemic will drag on for another year because the vaccines will be late in coming.
How can the government explain this to seniors?
