Mr. Speaker, in order to help seniors, we need to increase their purchasing power in the long term.
The government has spent close to $400 billion since the beginning of the pandemic, and yesterday it said that this was not the time for austerity. Now is not the time for austerity, according to this government, except when it comes to helping seniors and giving a little more to those who built Quebec and Canada.
Can the government tell seniors why it still refuses to increase the pension by $110 a month for seniors 65 and older?
