Madam Speaker, yesterday we learned that food prices will go up by 7% next year. That will cost families almost $1,000 extra.
That is also very bad news for seniors in the 65 to 74 age bracket, whom the government decided will not get the old age security increase.
With prices on the rise, the government's decision to create two classes of seniors is literally forcing people to take food out of their carts, put it back on the grocery store shelf, and go line up for a Christmas hamper.
What will it take for the government to realize it has to increase OAS for all seniors?
