They received a one-time payment of $500. That was short-term relief. What else can they expect?
A simple calculation shows us that they ended up with just a few bucks. It is not for nothing that we are asking for an increase of $110 a month. It is to help lift them out of their vulnerable situation and to increase their spending power. Although the government has been acting on an ad hoc basis throughout the pandemic, this has been a problem for a long time.
In the Bloc, we want to look at the future of our seniors. We will not back down.
