Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Marc-Aurèle-Fortin for his hard work on behalf of seniors.
Seniors are more likely to deplete their savings, have disabilities and be widowed at a time when their health needs are on the rise.
In budget 2021, we kept our promise to increase old age security by 10% for Canadians 75 and up. We will also support them in the short term with a one-time payment of $500 in August.
Seniors built our country and they can rest assured that we will be there for them.
